It would be great if it did come to PC though, then the rest of us could play it.

No, it doesn't. The PC is a gaming platform playing the same game as the consoles (often for less cost). PC games effect console sales, and buyer perception. Valve games will never be exclusive to a console, because they are PC games. The console versions are just cheap ports. When you call a cheap port of something exclusive, you only make yourself look dumb.

Yeaaaaaaaaaah, that wasn't published by Sony. Smooth move. |
Never mind i thought he was asking for a game that Sony were publishing on a console that also saw a PC release.

Not neccessarily sir. The game is only an exclusive if the game only comes out for ONE platform. As long as pc's can play console games and consoles can play pc games then its all the same.

Sony doesn't seem to have a very friendly relationship with the PC market:
1. Because it helps Microsoft
2. Because the games get pirated to hell anyways
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

WOW..like I didn't know that it was a platform. ANYTHING that plays videogames is considered a platform smart one. Exclusivity only implies console exclusivity between warring consoles, vying for brand dominance. (IE: 360 vs PS3 or DS vs PSP) A PC is not a console, it runs differently and it plays differently while standing alone. MS puts it on PC because they create PC software as well as publishing games for consoles. It's two different experiences. One is infront of your television set and the other is on a computer screen. Get it straight.

don't bury yourself even more.
PC and Console directly affect each other's sales. That's all that matters.
Oh and more and more people ar starting to move their PCs into their living room. Get it straight.

Exclusive meaning "single" or "sole" as in applying to only one. When something is not on only one platform it's not exclusive. PC games can very easily be played on a TV. My friend plays TF2 on a 52" Bravia. PC games also absolutely affect console sales. The lack of 360 exclusives was a major factor in me buying a PS3 instead of a 360.
