I dont doubt your good work in putting together this undeniably interesting list but the 18 month timescale seems to have been selected more to include Metal Gear Solid 4 and GT:Prologue (when compared to a 12 month timescale) or to exclude some of the biggest 360 games such as Halo3 and Mass Effect (when compared to a 24 month period).

I am sure this is just coincidence but knowing some of the nice neutral posts made on this forum I have to at least ask... ;)

Can i just quickly add im shocked that Lost Oddysey did not have 80+ metacritic. The best JRPG this generation (soo far) in my opinion.

Let me show you your original post again:

Just to make things easier I bolded the part I guess you missed.

I completely understand what exclusive means and what console exclusive means.  I was wondering why you thought it would be so amusing to hear something is called a console exclusive is since the way you put it, it made it sound like you thought it was on another console.

It will be a full-fledged console that will play PC games available on the Onlive service, simple as that.

It will be a console that plays the PC games available in the Onlive Service, so a console that plays PC games.

Here's the console by the way:

Have you not understood?! Onlive's console (closed platform) will play PC games!!

So far none of you have even answered my question lol, don't be afraid: "What happens when companies launch PC-based consoles, like Onlive will? Those games can no longer be called console exclusives now, can they?"

Why are you putting so much emphasis on Onlive, as if its not going to fail ... who's to say it will even get any games that go to 360 and PC?

@shio, you might as well have asked us if the sky looked blue. If Onlive is considered a console, then games that are shared between that console and other consoles would no longer be console exclusive. Duh.

So bookmark this thread and when OnLive releases, make your statement again so everyone knows that 360 games can no longer be considered console exclusive because OnLive can play them. Unless of course you are playing OnLive as we speak.

It doesn't matter whether it's successful or not, the point is IF it does get PC/X360 games like Splinter Cell Conviction, then those games can no longer be called "console exclusive", can they? Which further proves that the "console exclusive", "HD console exclusive", "next-gen exclusive" terms are pathetic, especially when PC can be considered a rival to Xbox 360, PS3 and consoles in general.

At the end of the day, this is a site about console video games and f it gets your back up so much just leave, stop telling us to change how we term things for the one or two people it offends on this site.

I think this thread has headed in the wrong direction. Looking back at my original post and knowing the history of gaming sites in general it is probably my fault. I just thought it was interesting to look at semi-recent quality exclusives and to compare their sales. My only intention was to point out the PS3 exclusives sell at a similar rate to the 360 exclusives. (Not including Halo 3 and Gears of War).

I am going to try and get someone to close this thread. Thanks for the VG$ and sorry for the disruption.

Before they close the thread, let me congratulate you on a good job at putting this together.
