My one issue with the "exclusives" argument

OK.  Great.  If you don't mind dealing with technical specs, if you don't mind missing out on 360 games that haven't made it to PC, and if you don't mind the fact that your PC isn't able to take advantage of the superior graphics that come with the PC versions of most multi-plat games, then more power to you.  Sounds like you are satisfied with your set-up.

Doesn't work for me, though.  I only play games on console, because I DO mind the tech specs, the 360-only games, and the fact that you need to spend a whole lot of time and money to build a PC that can take advantage of high-end PC graphics (which, as I said before, would be one of the reasons I would play games on PC; no way would I play multi-plats on PC if I couldn't run them at a much higher quality than they run on PS3/360).  So it doesn't change the fact that the "everyone has a PC, so why buy an Xbox" argument doesn't hold up.

I'm not satisfied with my setup... I'm just saying I played Minecraft in a really low-en PC with the same experience than 360... so why Minecraft is a differencial factor on 360? Why people says it is a exclusive.

I can play Minecrat... now tell me where any 360 gamers plays Journey?

That's my point. I buy a 360 for Halo, Gears, Forza, etc... and not multiplat 360/PC... and vice-versa... I buy a PS3 for exclusives and not multiplat PS3/PC.

Its not about your personal gaming preferences. Its about what one can do and the other can't, on their own individual terms. Disregarding all else despite their existence. Its a 1 vs 1 rivalry, keep it that way, despite your access to a gaming PC.
