A message to whoever made this thread. We really need to stop this "and" crap. I know Microsoft started it and the rest of the industry bought in to it but I refuse to call any game that is planned for release on more than one platform exclusive. When growing up, an exclusive was just that. It was a game that was released only on one platform. It might have been ported to another platform at a later date, but for all intents and purposes, the game was exclusive to a platform at the time of release. So when Shenmue III comes out or when Street Fighter V comes out, I will not refer to them as being exclusives because they are being released on more than one platform. People can argue with me about this, but there is no argument. Exclusive used to mean exclusive. Exclusive nowadays is a term that is used to make one gaming platform sound better than another. |
How about "console exclusive"? Good enough?

Not, because you could also be implying the game is exclusive to a console and not anything else. The way I see it, there's no dancing around the truth. Some of these games that people have been referring to as exclusives are not exclusives in any way at all.
