As someone who already owns a console, why do you put more importance on exclusives than multiplatform releases for that console? Do you enjoy games more because you can't get them anywhere else?

Why don't digital games count as games on a console? Is it because despite the fact it may well be the best game released all month, it's not shipped in a box sitting exclusively in console B's section therefore irrelevant?

I've been a multiformat gamer pretty much since I was able to buy game consoles for myself. I buy the games I want to play on the format that has the best version for me. The fact it is available elsewhere is of no detriment to my enjoyment of said software whatsoever.  At the end of the day, a game is a game... isn't it?

When looking at single format owners, surely the "exclusive" malarky becomes even less relevant? You only have 1 system, you can only buy games released on that system, I'd have thought multi format gives you access to more games making them the preferable option?

Come on VGChartz, why are exclusives worth far more to people who already own said consoles? And you have internet... why the hell can't a great E-shop, XBLA or PSN game be considered a pro for a system?
