Looks like 360 has a "Real exclusive" now.

 

This game is gonna be amazing. 


Finally...I`m tired of 360/Pc versions.

Good news for 360 owners and,if anybody wants to play Alan Wake,they should buy a cheap 360 and enjoy the exclusive games. What`s wrong with that? It was about time MS stopped supporting the Pc with it`s high piracy rate. 

And if someone is offended by this decision,then you know how I feel when I buy a 360 game while many people download the Pc version of the game using torrent sites.

What matters are the sales, and if Alan Wake sold more on PC+Xbox360 than just X360, then your argument is pointless. I can assure you that if Alan Wake, like most good games, were to be released in both platforms at the same time, it would very likely sell more on PC.

 

lol just no

I can't think of a good shooter that sold more on Xbox 360 than on PC, that was released on both at same time...


CoD4 - we had this discussion before and you claimed that CoD4 sold 10 million on the PC, which is just not true. (Activision said so, NPD has CoD4 on PC at 900k etc)

Same goes for CoD WaW.

And Left 4 Dead. Gabe Newell said in June that there is a L4D community of 3 million players (Check: http://kotaku.com/5286185/valve-responds-to-left-4-dead-2-boycott-vows-support-for-original ) according to VGC Left 4 Dead on Xbox360 made about 2 million of those 3 million. (Check: http://vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=All&game1=Left+4+Dead+-+X360&reg2=All&game2=&reg3=All&game3=&weeks=100 )

Bioshock - Take Two said December 07 that Bioshock sold 2 million copies. (Check: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3165101 )
According to VGC Data the Xbox360 version sold about 1.4 million in December 07. (Check http://vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=All&game1=Bioshock+-+X360&reg2=All&game2=&reg3=All&game3=&weeks=100 ) About 19 weeks after release (Release in July , sales till mid December)

Woow, this really hurts me.... CoD4 is very very popular and it's one of the best FPS this generation. Thank you for the numbers.

without getting into that old argument, I only wanna say that Stan would look really silly here in Brazil saying he buys original games for his console, so I think it's really weird to be SO offended by PC pirates, with millions (MILLIONS!) pirating games in PCs, consoles and whatever else they can.



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

Nobodoy sees the irony of this? Microsoft said they entered the console market to stop sony from hurting there "PC" gaming market, and now they are hurting there own PC market..

How ironic

No they entered the console market to stop Sony from dominating the living room.  

so... they are going to stop Nintendo now? Sony didn't really need MS to end their domination.

Shame. Can't say I'm that suprised though, Microsoft have said that releasing PC versions at the sametime as the 360 versions is essentially like them shooting themselves in the foot. A loss of potential 360 hardware and software sales in regions where PC gaming is strong (most of Europe).

They may still bring it out on PC but I doubt they'll bother considering how long its been since Halo 3 came out and still no word on a PC version. Not to menion Gears 2 and Fable 2.

Well, it looks like MS may have taken forum fanboy wars to heart and provided their fanboys with more true blue console exclusives. LOL. PC/PS3 gamers should have kept their mouths shut.

Yeah but who would have known what was gonna happen.  Most people (back in the PS1/PS2 time) thought that Sony would continue to Dominate this gen like they used to.  Not too many people could have predicted that the Wii was gonna be the one to dominate.

And no console to date has dominated the console market even remotly as close as Sony did during the PS1/PS2 timeline.

Oh I don't think the majority of them are too sad about the game not being on PC. Although its only a personal experience, not every person I know who owns a PS3 has a 1k rig like we're supposed to believe.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

Not that you'd need a 1K rig to play them at the same graphical level as a 360...

^ Depends on how big your monitor is. Its considered best to run games at the native resolution of your PC monitor and you'd probably have to run them at a higher framerate because its more obvious when the gameplay stutters with a mouse.



Tease.
