I dunno, i still can't see why it would be called exclusive if it comes out on the PC as well.... If I have a ps3, and i can get all the 360 "exclusives" on my PC, why would I buy a 360? Exclusives should be on one device.


Epic post,hope MS is listening.

Yes, and the 360 is not in the same market place of the PC, and it is not a competitor for the PC, it is a competitor for the ps3. If the ps3 don't have Mass Effect and the 360 has Mass Effect, Mass Effect is an exclusive for the 360, because both systems are competitors. Both systems are consoles, and not PCs.

How can you say the 360 is not a competitor to the PC? or the PS3? or the Wii? All systems play games, all systems share common games, the system that appeals to a gamer the most will be purchased, therefore they are all competitors. Now, if you want to go ahead and call every game that is 360/PC or PS3/PC a console exclusive, then go ahead. But an exclusive game it is not.

Ok, The ps2, Wii, gamecube, snes, n64 and other consoles don't have any exclusive because I can buy a PC and play the game using an emulator. Why I would buy a ps2 if I can play ps2 games in my PC? hmmm.. maybe because they aren't the same thing?

and no, The PC and the 360 aren't competitors, they don't do the same things, they aren't in the same market place, if you only uses the PC for game, great, but you can't have a lot of 360 games and 360 functionalities.

Computer =/= Console.

Windows and Xbox are to different divisions, they work together sometimes, but still different. Just like Playstation and Sony BMG

Denial.  Not just a river in Egypt.

I even considered buying a 360 a few months ago instead of building a new PC, since the 360 seemed pretty cheap (it's not, when you realize all the extra costs associated with the $199 console) and plays many of the same games.  But then I came to my senses and built a PC instead

Excelent, now  you have a PC, and not a console. I hope you enjoy your Gears of War 2, Lost Odyssey and other games.

I have the easy way to fix this problem. If a game is released for the 360/PC just say "console exclusivity" belongs to the 360 remember a PC is not a console. I count 360/PC releases as 360 exclusives only cause it is not available to other consoles (PS3 or Wii).

No, 360/PC is not an exclusive, it is not an exclusive to either platform, it is simple

Now, the question whether it can be used in a PS3 vs 360 arguements, and it can, but saying a something coming out on 2 platforms does not make it exclusive, though it is console exclusive

Im glad you're enjoying the PC. Im kinda wondering as an honest question, what kind of specs/price did you pay for your ideal experience? (Im not going to complain that PC gaming is expensive and use you as a bait, its just interesting to see how much people value a PC experience and what they get for what they pay for).



Tease.

Ok, I learned that it is a "console exclusivity".



Munkeh111 on 03 June 2009

Oh yeah, LBP is exclusive because the PSP and PS3 games are different. On the other hand Jak TLF is not exclusive as it is coming to PS2 as well
