10-15% of 56% is 18-27%. I'm okay with that assessment.

So for arguements sake and easy math we will say 25%.

So should we be creating a list of games that would be beneficial for 1 out of every 4 people?  

Or creating a list of games that would be beneficial for 3 out of every 4 people?  

Depends who the list is for I suppose. We are on a gaming forum. My suspicions are that most of us will fall within the 1 out 4 as opposed to the 3 out of 4.

¬_¬ or, you know, people could actually look at their own situation and decides what's best _for them_


Because people have to like one system, then make everyone else see that the other system sucks. I thought everyone knew that. 

But to actually stay on topic with what people are talking about (or were, I honestly couldn't bear reading past page 2.)  If someone plays games on PC often they might not consider The Witcher 2 or LFD 1/2 or Alan Wake etc being on Xbox important to them. But if they don't have a PC capable of playing them or don't enjoy playing on PC as much, then if they want those games then they'd have to have an Xbox. 

Oh dang, that's 2 different situations with 2 different results, both being very reasonable. I guess you might've known what you were talking about after all ;)

That was my point. A "console X is better than Y" debate is totally pointless, because there actually is no winner there. For some X is the best choice, for some it's Y and for some it's Z, simply because of their preferences and their personal situation and all of these are equally reasonable.

It doesnt matter who the list if for,  you just post what is beneficial for the majority not the minority.

Majority HERE.

These are lists for VgChartz, not dudebros.

You can go make lists with your dudebros at their house if you want.

In a PS vs XB exclusve list battle, games that are not on one plat but on the other should be counted, even if they are on other platforms.

Again you have no facts to back that up,  you claim majority here but you dont know that, and its not like these lists arent viewed outside of people that post here.  And I am pretty sure the OP wasnt refering to people who only post on gaming sites,  but everyone.   

WTF is a dudebro,  it sounds like an attempt to insult me but I dont even know what the fuck it is

How the hell am I supposed to have facts about vgchartz users? You are being unrealistic.

I am no longer interested in discussing this with you.

Your story is implausible because it involves somebody playing Twisted Metal.

It depends, of course, on the gamer. If that gamer owns a gaming PC, the Xbox 360's console exclusive library is no longer exclusive at all. The same applies if he is considering picking up a gaming PC. If not, then titles like Gears of War and (formerly) Mass Effect would be selling points.

Either way, however, those games are not exclusives.

You are the one claiming his assumptions are realistic and logical and I'm being unrealistic because I want something a little more factual.
