does PS1 exclusive also counts as PS2 exclusive because its SONY's? Does the GBA exclusive counts as DS exclusive because its Nintendo's?

 While ture, a 360 fan only cares about one thing:

They got the game and PS3 didnt. Regardless whether or not its an inferior PC port, their just happy they got it and that their main rival doesnt

Actually theres plenty 360 total exclusives. Your post only suggesting 2 exclusives shows your blindness.....unless ur joking.

Fable 2 might just go to PC soon, but itll be Games for Windows and LIVE enabled, count on that. And this will be after the 360 version is milked in sales. Either way, your supporting MS when you buy Fable 2 and NOT Nintendo and Sony. Thats all MS and its fanboys care about: a 360/PC game isnt on a PS3 or Wii. You either need a 360 or a Windows OS to play them.

Sure for some PC eletists there is no reason to get a 360. Its a good thing those people are a minority. The vast majority of consumers have average PCs, making the 360 a good choice.

Well, if the architectures of the 360 wasn't so closely related to the pc, there would be less games for 360 owners to play. So fortunately, the people who have purchased a 360 have the opportunity to play L4D, Fable 2, Gears, ad nauseum(and millions made the choice to play them on 360, regardless of the ubiquity of the pc). Gamers win. The only people that pc/360 exclusivity matters to, are, interwebz forum fanboyz and probably the creators of the platform. Neither of which am I.

PC is not competing with 360.

Wii is not competing with 360/PS3.

Right?

The PC is a platform, thus PC360 games are multiplatform.

However, the ongoing "console war" here is actually between the PS3 and the 360, thus PC360 exclusives in that battle are just as good as exclusives.

When you hear guys like shio tell you that "PC gaming is the most popular platform by triple" well sure it is. However, most people are playing Spider Solitare on it, and buying Microsoft Office as their software bundles.

It's absolutely ignorant to believe that single player HD gaming is nearly as prevelant amongst PC owners as it is amongst console owners. Not just percentage wise, but number wise. Besides the overwhelming piracy issue, the sheer barrier to entry for PC HD gaming is a major roadblock to anyone but the technophile. If you don't have 2 year experience building computers, you probably aren't HD gaming on one. You might be playing World of Goo, but you're not playing GTAIV.

So yes, single player HD gaming is generally related to consoles, for the mass market. These games couldn't exist if it weren't for consoles. Games like Assassin's Creed or GTAIV. However, they could easily exist without the PC. That's something shio can't argue against.

So yes, in the CONSOLE war, the only one left to decide, the one between the PS3 and the 360, PC360 multiplats matter very much, and indeed have kept the 360 at or above the PS3 in last years releases, and competitive in this years releases. The architecture is so similar, that the platforms are nearly interchangable, at a mainstream technology level.

That's the long and the short of it. Sorry it took so long for someone to answer your question correctly.

Just because some people recognise PC/360 titles as being synomymous with 360 exclusive doesn't make it so.

Define : Exclusive

2. Not allowing something else; incompatible: mutually exclusive conditions.
3. Not divided or shared with others: exclusive publishing rights.
4. Not accompanied by others; single or sole: your exclusive function.
5. Complete; undivided: gained their exclusive attention.
6. Not including the specified extremes or limits, but only the area between them: 20–25, exclusive; that is, 21, 22, 23 and 24.
7. Excluding some or most, as from membership or participation: an exclusive club.

-In title A is on both the PC/360 then that title is no long an "exclsuvie title" because it is availible on another platform , the term "console exclusive" still has no meaning because you don't neccaserily need a console to play a PS3/PC , 360/PC game.

-A person might opt to buy the PC version of a game instead of the 360 version , therfore there is competition between the two formats.

-The PC has hundreds of millions of gamers so it is still a very viable format for multiplatform games.

-If some one's wife had sexual relations with a dog you couldn't argue she was being faithful because she was "human exclusive" by definition there is no devision or exceptions when it comes to exclusivity.

For most PC gamers the best choice for a console is a Wii, it better complements the PC with what it lacks (obviously valid if you miss what it lacks).

Wait what ? You can't deny it's only on one console so it's in fact a console exclusive.

You can only argue if it's a 360 exclusive or not

If the game is exactly the same or a port, of course it counts.

I don't think they are many people who don't consider Twilight Princess as Wii exclusive.
