No it won't...and that's exactly the point. The first game of an established BIG IP releasing on a new generation of consoles almost always moves hardware, Halo Reach doesn't qualify. That's why people are saying GT5 and FF13 will sell systems. The 360 has no games left like this, hence why it has no system sellers left.

Halo ODST did absoloutely nothing to boost hardware, any hardware affects Halo had went out the window with Halo 3.

No thanks, because I believe GoW 3 will sell better during their first 6 months, but my point was from the beginning that Alan Wake in the long run will be as important in selling consoles because it will sell more than God of War 3 eventually.

As I said, it's the heavily front loaded sales of God of War 3 that for sure will secure even a 6 month victory.

isn't a Metal Gear game coming for X360? could be big, l mean is the first Metal Gear for the console... but l don't know if it will be released before Natal :)

Japan already got the FFXIII demo with ACCFFVII BD, and that even got a PS3 hardware bundle last April (which already spiked sales).  No, it's not a full game, but then it's not like all the people who're buying FFXIII will be buying a PS3 alongside it, many already have one.  The scale of FFXIII's bump isn't going to be that huge either, the holidays and slim are pushing more units that FFXIII will be.  It'll maybe be a 80-100k bump on top of that.   

Likewise, we had already GT5 Prologue.  Again, not the same as a dedicated full release, but Sony's definitely been teasing the game so long with Prologue and updates that a good amount of series faithful likely already bought the platform.  I guess it's maybe semantics, in a way both series HAVE pushed hardware sales even if those sales won't come alongside the games.  Though then we can sort of apply that logic to the 360 sequels too, they're helping reinforce sales and awareness.

I sort of view GT5 and FFXIII the same way I view Other M or the new Zelda... technically the series was released on the platform earlier, but this is the first full "real" game in the series made for the console.

It would be big if it was exclusive to the 360,but just like FF XIII,it will sell more on the PS3

Re-re-fixed.  Even a console exclusive is still an exclusive by definition.  And since no PC release date has been announced so far as I'm aware, it IS exclusive still :)

Definition of exclusive:

–adjective

You quoted the dictionary, I quoted the forum rules.

The forum rules take precedence.

So you're just completely ignoring the rules on this site because you feel like it then eh?

It doesn't matter if a release date has been announced, it's been announced for the PC and is therefore a console exclusive, NOT an exclusive.

The "what's exclusive-what's" not rules are not debatable, so please stop discussing them and stay on topic

Well perhaps the forum rules should be modified?  Perhaps it should explicitly say you have to use the term console exclusive?  Because if I were to not count every game that is on both one console and PC as an exclusive, it'd be a discredit to those console owners.  By definition of exclusive, all you need to do is exclude others from the group.  So a game on 2 platforms or more that excludes others is still an "exclusive" by the way I see it.  There is only like 1 or 2 definitions of exclusive that explicitly state "only one" or something similar.
