And halo 3

Pretty glad this game will be a real exclusive and not like one of those fake exclusives like splinter cell and mass effect.

Big difference, they've already shown off Alan Wake as a PC exclusive multiple times. You really think they're gonna convince every PC supremacist out there to cough up money just to play Alan Wake on a 360?

Fake exclusives that can make some people buy a $500~$1000 (expensive) PC or a $200~$300 (cheap) x360.

No differences, really. It's the same thing again: Microsoft realized that the x360 needs more exclusives and needs to show it's true power.

You really think that it's not going to push the x360 hardware sales? You really think that this fact won't help in the sales for the x360 version if it's the only version that you will be able to buy?

Please...

Depends who you are. If you have a capable pc, then theres no reason for you to buy an xbox 360 to play those games while you can save money and buy those same games for your pc instead. A real exclusive can sell more units than games that are console exclusives.

I'm pretty sure it's bloody obvious that I think it'll push 360 sales, considering I said they won't say anything about a PC release until several months after its 360 release. But if you want to be a condescending douche about it, go right ahead.

It's sort of like putting Bioshock on PS3 a year later, by then, no one gives two shits about it. Except for fanboys that can point at the game and say "the graphics are better in MY version!"

nope..S/w selling potential..forza 3 being a graphics showcase didn't sell as many systems as expected..so, that's a no. The game looks pretty awesome to me though..undenial.

And I said that that's exactly what people said about Halo 3 and Gears 2.

Face it, Microsoft realized that they need more exclusives for the x360. Microsoft is supporting Remedy and they are also going to publish the game, you won't see it on PC just like Gears 2, Halo 3, Forza 3 and Fable 2/3.

And no, it's not bloody obvious that you think it will push 360 sales. You actually said "PC owners wont buy a console just to play one game", and I disagree with you. Some of those PC owners are waiting for this game for years. PC owners had games like Halo 1 & 2 and Gears 1, but Halo 3 and Gears 2 are on the x360 and Alan Wake is just another reason to buy a x360.

Like I said last year, it's a shame that it's not coming to PC anymore as I would have liked to play it. I'm not going to buy a 360 for this game though.

Oh well.
