Forums - Website Topics - The Rules About Calling Things "Exclusive"

If you wanna get technical, none of the platinum hit boxarts have room for them to put that on there. I just looked at Forza 2's.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

@ Kowenicki, that was before MS decided to release it on the PC.
Suffice to say, it is not an "exclusive", but it is a "console exclusive", and that is part of the reason Naztips made this whole deal a rule. People were using "exclusive" and "console exclusive" interchangeably, this leads to a huge semantics war, and while I never participated in discussions about exclusive games, I was getting sick of seeing the PC guys derail a thread because the OP used the term "exclusive" instead of "console exclusive".

Well my Gears of War still says "only on xbox".... maybe I have a case!!??

nope, I think it says in the manual that the "only on xbox" mark  means the game is exclusive for three months or more. At least thats how it was for xbox 1.

dammit... was going to bring a class action for $4 billion.

You could have made even more if you had put the lawsuit towards Sony and Nintendo as well! :o

Sony is careful to put "Only on PlayStation". So, they can release it on PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP and perhaps Aino, and you can't do anything.

Chop Till You Drop is different enough to be a separate game. I suppose Sigma 2 can be called a remake of NG2 with the differences.


Thank you! So there you guys have it, here on VGChartz (at least) Dead Rising (Xbox 360), and Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop (Wii) are considered two seperate titles, and are both considered to be exclusive to their console.
