I disagree that GeOW and MSG4 couldnt looks as impresive if made for the Xbox360.

And this is why you made this post. If you didn't think they could look as impressive, you would agree Exclusives have there place.

I will be very generic, and take the consoles out of the equation. Let's say I gave you a set of tools to build a house. In one set I gave a miter saw to, and in the other I gave a plainer.

If I told the two crews to build me the best house they can, where they both look identical, they woudl each build a worse house then if I said "use all the tools at your disposal, and build me the best house".

Same applies with video games.

But my thinking is both of them are 10" circular saws, but just different brands.  The RPM/ power consumption/ shape / materials used / copper wire thickness etc are different, but they effectively perform the same function, but here we have a scenario where we have the buy the blade which goes with the saw.

A plainer and a miter saw have completly different functions
