The term 'exclusive' is changing.  When MS calls a game 'exclusive', I'm just never sure what that means...  timed exclusive vs console exclusive (and released on PC) vs maybe it's not really exclusive at all (i.e. Mass Effect 1). 

Now I know that 'exclusive exclusive' means that that the game is really a true exclusive.

And timed true exclusivity (e.g. Dead Rising 3 and Ryse)....

Still holding out for Dead Rising 3 on PS4... but don't hold out much hope for it, so expect that to be Console Exclusive, though as the OP states, it is getting confusing.

I would like to just know, is it coming out at some point or not. If not, thats fine I can reconcile with that, but yeah the confusing terminology generally seems to only confuse the userbase in the hope they will buy a console for a particular game. At the moment I dont trust the work Exclusive from either Sony or MS.
