| Onyxmeth said: I just updated the list. A lot of games that were basically vaporware were removed. It gives the list a cleaner look and a better idea at what can be expected in 2008. Two major releases, APB and Alan Wake were moved into the 2009 section and a Viva Pinata sequel was added in there also. Some release dates were changed. I added new pics in and made 2 larger pics as opposed to 3 smaller ones. Infinite Undiscovery finally got a release date in August so it's been added to the list. On a sidenote, this is for those still bitching about games being on this list that are also on PC. What you must understand is, many gamers do not play games on their PCs. A PC is not a console. Many people have no problem owning all three consoles and still won't game on their PC. Because of this reason I have these games on the list. It's not meant to be an illusion to show more exclusives than are really there. Each game is labeled whether it's on the PC because those that are interested can pick them out of the pack. I wanted to show what exclusive advantage a 360 had over a Wii and PS3, because for most gamers, those are the only three machines they will consider purchasing, and this was made for those wondering about purchasing a 360. I also believe handhelds should be held in their own regard and not directly be comparable to consoles as far as exclusives. If you think differently, I don't care, because this is my topic. |
That line is BS. It's estimated that the PC gaming userbase numbers over 200 million, and the more "hardcore" PC gaming userbase numbers well over 30 million, if not 40. There are over 15 million active Steam users alone.
30 million active PC gamers is more than either the GC or Xbox install bases from last gen, but they were never ignored when a games exclusivity was called into question. Hell, it's more than the install base of ANY current gen console.
You can't exclude a platform because some people would rather game on something else. Some people would only ever think about gaming on the PC, and completely ignore the consoles. Some people ignore one console in favor of the other. You can't base this on what some people do. The PC is a viable platform that competes for sales of multiplatform games. You can't deny this.
Hell, the PC's popularity in Europe is probably one of the main reasons the 360 does so poorly in the region vs the US.
I don't want to derail this thread, so don't feel the need to respond. However, think about what I said. :)
