Then we could talk about the horrible rate of attrition PC games are having against the X360. 10 years ago, almost no PC games made the transition to consoles. Now, half of the upcoming PC library is on the X360. If you want to play the PC exclusive game, to attack the X360, go ahead. But that still doesn't take away the fact that I can play PC games on my X360 that the PS3 and Wii cannot. |

Despite how unpopular, how uncool PC games are, if it's out in PC/Xbox360, it's NOT an exclusive, It's just simple as that.
People buy a console for exclusives, and if they can get the game they want in a PC (the truth is, more people own a PC than xbox), they'd just get it for PC. It's the case for me, as I never got used to playing FPS on console
if you want to start a thread with Xbox/PC exclusive, then that's fine, but Craazyman clearly stated a Xbox Exclusive, and I don't think it's unfair to attack him for be clear about it.
Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.
KH3 bet: "If KH3 comes to Wii exclusive, I will take a 1 month of sig/avatar by otheres open a thread apologize and praise you guys' brilliance." http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?start=50&id=18379

no it is switching to digital distrubution which te NPD doesnt track and will never track accurately. Since Steam has 15 million accounts I'd say that PC gaminig far from dying otherwise Valve wouldnt be making Source Engine 2 or Half-Life 3. |
And I can say the same thing for digital distribution of Playstaton 3 games, as well as Arcade/VC/WiiWare/PSN games. What about sales tracked for the hundreds of thousands of digitally distributed copies of Shivering Isles for X360?
I can play that game too. After all, you have no arguement using Steam, when hardcopy PC sales are falling like a rock, and the Wii/PS3/X360 face the same thing with digital distribution for their own games.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
This is a list of exclusive games that you cannot play unless you get an XBox 360. This is not a list of console specific Xbox 360 exclusives. Feel free to make that list if you like.
This website is primarily for console/handheld gaming data, but that does not mean that you have to pretend that PC gaming does not exist.

PC has a much bigger and better amount of exclusives coming out this year than the Xbox 360's entire lifetime. There's no comparison. And by saying PC is shrinking just proves your ignorance. PS: OP, Viva Pinata is also on PC, not exclusive |
It easy to say that the PC has more exclusives if you count the 50 or so $5 games released every month but do we really want to count those?
The people that said this is a console gaming site hit the nail on the head. That's not saying that PC gamers aren't welcome here, but when we're talking about the console wars we mean just that.
Wiistation - but that doesn't mean that everyone loves spending hundreds of dollars a year on new PC upgrades. Regardless of what you want to say, the PC gaming market is shrinking. Why the heck would every new game released that used to be PC exclusive, now almost exclusively PC/PS3/X360?
Think about the major once-exclusive PC IPs like Fallout, Unreal, Quake, Doom, Elder Scrolls, Sims, and others. They're all console-side now.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Well, that is not my computer, so that does not change the fact that I cannot play these games, plus I have a laptop and want to keep it that way, and I do not live in America, so I cannot get that PC. The most advanced games that I can play are Company of Heroes and World in Coflict, and those are not smooth, and on the lowest graphics settings
| disolitude said: I think PC stuff shouldn't be included as well. PC is great and all for word porcessing but only 1 in 10 freinds of mine play PC games. I just can't be bothered to install, make sure my pc is up to spec, keep uptaded video cards... I also hate the fact that unless you spend over 1000 bucks, you can't really enjoy the game at its highest visual setting. It pisses me OFF playing DOOM 3 on medum settings when I know it can look better... So getting PC ports on a console is a big blessing for me. |
1- Computers are cheaper than ever, with the medium budget build going around 800$
2- PC is getting more and more intuitive. Vista is more intuitive than XP, Steam offers easier access, etc...
3- Even if you can't max the games, it will still most likely look better on PC. console COD4 is only 600p, near the minimum resolution of the PC version; Crysis on medium settings looks better than any console game, etc...
| mrstickball said: shio - Can you give statistical proof from NPD, or any other tracking service that shows that unit sales of PC games is increasing? Last I checked, the PC market was decreasin |
Is this a joke?
| Garcian Smith said: Here's an idea: How about you PC fanboys stop trying to troll a website dedicated to console games with your "hurr PC is better" drivel. If you want to discuss why your beloved platform is better than those ugly consoles for babbies, then take it to another forum and stop trying to stir up drama here. |
I'm here because I have taken interest in sales age, and I own a Wii and my brother's 360. However, I'm still a PC gamer, and I'm baffled at the ignorance of some of the console owners who think PC gaming is dead, even though I've proved them wrong every time.
