"Console launch exclusive means the first console the game will launch on will be Xbox One... I don't know, honestly, anything about when those games are going to launch on another platform. It's really up to the developer to do the work to make that happen."

The knucklehead should just use the term the gaming world already uses for it. Timed Exclusive.

"Timed exclusive" is only the same as "launch exclusive".

"Console launch exclusive" is an even weaker form of exclusivity, since an earlier release on PC and/or mobile would be possible.
