Correct. Do you have any other questions?

Since you asked... in what way is it an exclusive, given that it's available on multiplats? Also, just to clarify, how is Smash Bros Melee NOT an exclusive, given that it is only available on gc???

Hint: Because you can play it on the Wii.

alrite then it's still exclusive to nintendo smart fucker

So is gears not exclusive to Microsoft?

Completely different. Gears would be exclusive. Smash Bros. Melee is still not exclusive.

Typically when presented with the issue of exclusivity, the person trying to prove the multiplatform status of a game will point out that it can't be an exclusive, since they can play it on their other choice of platform. Since gaming is a matter of owning the physical property (the copy) far more than it is the intellectual property (the game), this is why the list looks the way it does. I hope this clears things up.

If that were the case, digital distribution would be dead in the water.

I recently saw a thread on here, in regards to a YouTube video saying the PS3 owns the 360 due to exclusives:

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=112097&page=1&str=1917828592#

This video uses the normal tight definition of what is considered an exclusive. It means that it is available in ONE spot only. Well, I had thought Halo 3 and Halo Wars were exclusives, as there is no sign of them on the PC or any other console, but.... consider this:

http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/40638/risk-halo-wars-collectors-edition

There IS a Halo Wars boardgame! So, if we are hardcore about what is or is not an exclusive, that means that Halo Wars isn't an exclusive to the 360, right? Wow, this is perplexing... or maybe not.

butthurt guy is butthurt.

Console exclusive, Microsoft exclusive, Multiplat: not on PS3. It's all retarded. If there is a product and I can get it somewhere else, then it is no exclusive. In the case of video games, some games may not be on the PS3, but that doesn't mean PS fans can't play them, thus nullifying any argument

Actually, it's even WORSE for 360. You make that PC game and instead of cutting into Sony's console marketshare by having people buy a 360 for the game....they can instead play it on their PC. What say you to that?

Is the Halo wars boardgame the exact same experience as Halo Wars on the 360? If so, YES. But I doubt thats the case :>.

Lol at the OP! But really, it doesn't matter if the game is an Xbox Exclusive, a Console Exclusive, or a Microsoft Exclusive. All that matters is that those punks that only own PS3's can't play them!

Most of us have a PC ya know :O

That was a reply to what I quoted. Don't care about the topic since if I want to play a game I would just buy the console it's for.

I no longer have a 360. Just a PS3. Yet, I just got done with a session of Mass Effect 2. Explain please. I'm a punk that only owns a PS3, yet I'm playing your "exclusive"
