^ The crazy thing is PS3 and PSP are to different platforms. But both Sony. Noone kicks up a fuss when a game is on both and called exclusive.

PC and 360 are both M$, so yeah it's exclusive to M$. So I dont see the problem anyway. PC sales dont affect console sales. And if they do, we are talking only a few thousand at most.

No actually. PC is a open platform which includes systems from OSX to Windows based platforms to Unix based systems. The hardware is not owned by microsoft, and windows is only a medium, which you don't have to pay royalities unless you go under the "Games for windows" development.

Fanboys are funny really, they constantly want something, so they'll twist it to fit there own design. The game is not exclusive, and will look better on PC, get over it. You just  want to somehow make PS3 fanboys get mad over all the "exclusives" like bioshock!(PC, PS3, 360).... Mass effect!(PC 360, same with 2).... Gears!(PC 360) in fact most of the big hitters are multiplat, yet you would say exclusive, what kind of fucked up logic are you running?

PS3, 360, and WII are all personal computers. Console is just to describe they are meant for gaming and prebuilt.

 

PC is an open platform, but is this game going to run on Unix, OSX, etc? If not, it's still MS exclusive. Besides which, all those you listed, were at the very least timed exclusives, and guess what? 90% of their sales came from the 360. You could even say "Halo games go to the PC! Not exclusive! LULZ", but the fact remains that the 3 Halo FPS games have tallied over 23m sales on the 360, and calling them anything but exclusive is semantics.

The point is....more people have computers than video game consoles.  If you own even a relatively new PC (Like 4-5 years old),  you can run many of these new games on low settings if need be.   What is the point in owning a 360 if almost every title that peaks your interest can be played on another system?  

Why should you get to claim that it's "exclusive"  if a good amount of people easily can play it as if it were a non-exclusive?  This holds true for PS3/PC,  Nintendo/PC, or 360/PC games.

 

If they want to wait for it. As I said, those were timed exclusives, and 90% of the people that wanted it got them on the first platform. It is, to a large degree, why movie theaters are still in business. Sure my whole family can see that movie for a $5 rental... but we have to wait 6 months.

With the money saved on not purchasing a 360 (And using the PC you already have) you could easily have a different console of your choice and play even more games.   At that point,  does it really matter?  It's just another release date.

 

As I said, for 90% of people, it apparently does matter. Lets say a game with awesome multiplayer comes out, you want it at the same time as your friends, right? Once you get rid of that early-purchase factor, everyone's tired of the game before you get into it, and effectively you get less out of your purchase. I got Halo 3 at launch, and so did 10 people I know(within the first month or so). We had so many amazing nights with big team fights, custom games on lots of different settings, etc. That gave me more replayability/enjoyment than most of my other 360 games combined. If I was just getting to Halo 3 now, I would have a mediocre single player campaign, and the chance to play with some strangers, and not get a tenth of the enjoyment I had.

You're also making a number of major assumptions:

Assumption 1) That the computer is always available. Most families have a PC these days, but guess what? Everyone in the family probably uses it. Having a 360 and a PC allows more people to play at once. Also, a 360 supports 4 players in a large % of games. How many people does a PC entertain at once? Gears 4 splitscreen Coop on a PC? I think not.

Assumption 2) It's as fun to play at a desk with a much smaller screen than on a couch with your much larger TV.

Assumption 3) That you don't use the Xbox for anything else. I use my Xbox for a lot... I DL movies off of Live because I can watch them on my TV. I also use my netflix via xbox because if I wanna watch a movie, I wanna do it on a screen larger than 21''.  It's also my DVD player.

 

In short, your arguments assume that someone enjoys playing the PC more than a console. If someone just likes consoles in general, they lose their traction.

Great joke.

I'm not sure I'm excited about this game after hearing all the bad things I heard about Age of Conan.
