But it is still odd games have been on PC since the dawn of time. Whenever someone said PS or Nin exclusive people knew exactly what they meant that the games were only on their consoles. It was only when MS came in the mix that people started tripping off of games being on PC(the XB 360 in particular). Whenever people heard the term "exclusive" before then there were no arguments it was easy to know that people meant on those consoles.

I am not sure why the PC arguments started but they are silly at this point. No one is discrediting the PC but it boggles my mind when it is thrown into a home console/portable console discussion. It NEVER has been before but all of a sudden it is now. The PC isn't even tracked in comparison with the XB1/PS4/Switch/Wii U/3DS etc for video games sales.  It should truly be easy to understand now that if someone says a game is exclusive to Sony/MS/Nin they are saying they are not on the competing platforms(PS4/XB1/Wiiu or Switch). That's just my opnion though I know others have theirs.

Since when have people had to be THIS clear with exclusives?

Do people really want me to say Persona 4 is not on the PS Vita, Steam, Windows 10, Xbox one, Xbox 360, Wii U, Switch, Nintendo 3d, Nintendo New 3ds, and the ps3 (as long as we are talking in the west) or can I just say it is exclusive?

You open a thread talking about the ps4. You look at a long list of games that are ALL on the ps4. Do people really need to go "wait that is on PC, that is on the ps2 and ps3, that is on vita" etc. Or can they just not accept it isn't on any Microsoft or Nintendo systems (minus DDD that is a part of 2.8).

The same would be said if you made the inverse of it. If you talked about a list of PC games and you included Danganronpa, Nonary, and Nier along with a bunch of other PC games - in a thread about PC - no one should go "but but but it is on Playstation".

People need to use context and understanding.

Or when people are boasting you can't play this anywhere else i.e. what the term exclusive means and you can in fact play it on other platforms, then they need to say "console exclusive" not "exclusive"
