Forums - Gaming - Exclusivity is dead.

An exclusive game used to have a simple, straightforward meaning to it. Now companies like Ubisodt and Microsoft have fucked it all up. What's sad is that whenever a game (particularly a third party game) is actually exclusive, the fanboys start going apeshit like that's not supposed happen. Kids these days....up until the second half of the last console generation, it was EXPECTED that your console of choice would have plenty of exclusive first and third party games.

There is ONLY ONE EXCLUSIVE AND LUXURY console out there: Nintendos Wii U.

Over 90% of its retail games are exclusives.

And because of that it is a luxury to own one and experience the difference.

Too bad for Nintendo most people won't...



I guess they just wanted to prevent any confusion between the two versions Unity and Rogue. Ubi hungry for sales that much..



You just gotta read after the word. Educate yourself and others on the difference between console exclusive, platform exclusive, generation exclusive, and finally true exclusive.

I mean they're not wrong. It's exclusively on all those consoles.

Well it's not coming to my toaster so I guess it's still an exclusive.



One is exclusive to current gen platforms and the other to last gen platforms. How hard is this to understand?



But it's right, it's not like it's lying or it's not like there's a 'gaming-only' term for 'exclusive'.

AC:U is exclusive to those platforms afaik.



semantics



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

I really did laugh. Is that real? Honestly I would love a generation where MS, Nintendo and Sony join forces and stop this console war BS, give gamers a machine where we can play all games that look interesting instead of having to go for the console that has more games that interest you. Yes you could go Multi console but I have been multi console in the past and I missed out on a lot more games than I would have if I only owned one. The last time I was multi was during the dreamcast, PS2 and Gamecube era. I owned around 4 games for each. PS3 I own over 200 games, PS4 I currently own 34 games.
