[Poll] Do you count a console exclusive as an exclusive?

I agree with you about the exclusives but the prevailing argument on this site for months was that the PS4 was doing so well because it had the undisputed best versions of multi-plats.  And while you say there's no reason to buy a console for games that are on a PC, the opposite seems to be what's happening.  Console sales of multi-plats consistently shit on the PC sales.  So if a game is on console, it looks like people see no reason to buy the PC version of it.

 

I'm just saying.  Anyway, this isn't my argument so I'm gone.  Later, bro!

There's a few things wrong there.

One, we don't know how much PC versions sell. Digital sales are the majority, unlike consoles.

Two, using sales numbers to try and goal post what is an exclusive isn't a good idea. Otherwise every multiplat on PS4 is an exclusive. I mean, if a game sells X on XB1 and 50% less on PC, then if a game sells X on PS4 and 50% less on XB1... i guess one is a PS4 exclusive and the other is a XB1 exclusive? Seeing as how that's the logic that we are going with...

And multiplats aren't entirely excluded from providing reasons to get a console, because not all of them have PC versions. I'm not gonna name examples because i think they are pretty obvious. And they'll obviously, in those cases, work in favor of the PS4 and act like semi-exclusives or at least sell SOME consoles, more than they would if the game had a PC version.
