Alan Wake is not a game considered an exclusive for any platform, but in a comparison with ps3, Alan Wake is available on X360 and not on PS3. You can have a PC or not, but this doesn't change the fact that if you only have a ps3 you can't play Alan Wake.

Of course not, but the 360 and PS3 don't exist in a vaccuum. 

Ofcourse not, but there is nothing wrong with a rivalry, which basically points out 2 opposing sides in a sea of competitors. This is no different. Nothing wrong with limiting a comparison to 2 entities and only 2 entities if one so chooses to.

Sure, but then you don't have the entire picture. You simply make it convenient for one device. Think about your disproval of the PS3 and 360 titles from 2010-present not telling the entire story. This is a lot like that.

Rivalries always vut out the entire picture and focus on the tunnel vision-like competition. Its the nature of it.

2010-present? I count everything since the gen begain. But regardless, I like keeping the games on each platform out in the open, regardless of exclusivity. Your point is to bring in other platforms for what they are. Which is fine, but again it would have no place if someone wanted to make a strict 1 vs 1 comparison.
