Xbox360 owners - play and enjoy those games. PS3 owners do not, since im backed up by NPD statistics that show 95% of people don't own more than one current gen console so I can presume a similar trend between the PC and the Xbox360. Because of that trend, I can say that for most people, games coming out on both the Xbox360 or PC are exclusive to their sole/main platform. I can therefore be happy to call it an exclusive, furthermore I can say that it benifits the Xbox360 by providing a larger market for more third party games to be released on. It doesn't matter how much you try to deny the validity of selecting these games as a reason to own the 360, people generally don't own more than one platform so for all intents and purposes they are pretty much exclusive anyway. When taken into account as "games available" to a system, the Xbox360 as a sole platform for anyone will continue to be arguably the best place to find quality games for the forseeable future. If you don't like it... Fine, I don't care. You can sit there on your high horse while the 360 dominates the Shooter, WRPG, Strategy genres and competes heavily in the JRPG, Action and simulation genres.

While it's true that 360 has a strong lineup, I don't think it's true that HD console owners seldom or never play PC games. Especially among early adopters of the consoles, people do play PC games. Just because people don't often play PS3 and 360, doesn't mean they don't play both PS3 and PC (the number will be way, way, higher than 5%.) For people who have PCs looking to play the most good games possible, I'd say PS3 and PC beats 360 and PC.
