I think I maybe somewhat get what he is saying. Do you guys remember Alan Wake? A lot of the PC players* here were complaining that the 360 didn't have any exclusives then when the PC version was cancelled. They were all mad that it was cancelled for the PC version.Saying Microsoft "moneyhatted" or whatever

What else would the interwebz talk about?

I think what he is referring to are PS/PC fanboys who claim that a 360 isn't worth owning because it barely has true exclusives. Which is in fact false. The 360 has less true exclusives but the way that fanboys exaggerate, you'd think it is a lot less. Not to mention that many 360 exclusives are quality games.

360: 119 true exclusives

PS3: 160 true exclusives


And this all makes sense because many 360 developers (Valve, Bioware, Epic Games) have a PC gaming background whereas very few PS3 developers do (ie. Naughty Dog and Insomniac were always console-only I think. And in Japan, which favors the PS3, the PC market is dominated by visual novels and dating sims. I read somewhere that apparently these games collectively own 70% of the PC software market in Japan. "Core" gaming isn't big on the PC in Japan. The Japanese are much more console-oriented. It's the Koreans and Chinese that love PC gaming. The Japanese don't care for it much.) At the end of the day, the 360 holds its own quite well exclusive wise while still positioning itself as an alternative to heavy duty PC gaming (360 has 75 console exclusives whereas PS3 only has 9.. most of the PS3/PC games being MMOs I think, a market where you absolutely can not ignore the PC. Square-Enix and Sony also can't afford to not milk the Korean and Chinese markets. They LOVE MMOs and they play them on PC. So you gotta cater to their interests.)

At the end of the day, you don't have to spread lies about a console to justify not purchasing a console. If you don't want the console, whether it's due to budgetary restraints, time restraints or just plain not caring about the library, then just leave it at that.

I'm glad that I get the option to buy a game on my 360 or my pc and I'm glad ms gives me that option. I picked up dragon age for the pc, but I'll be getting mass effect 2 for the 360.

Also, glad to have you back legend that last was just wrong.

LOL This is the guy who makes a thread attacking PC gaming because his computer won't run Torchlight properly.

Ahh, another flame thread from you... great, just what this website needs

BTW, weren't you suppose to be gone and never coming back? Could you keep your word and do that?

The only people I bash are those who used to propagate the "console exclusive" crap. Now that it's considered a form of trolling, it's no big deal. But when x360 gamers would insinuate an x360 was the only way to play L4D, it was annoying as they'd attack others for pointing out it's not exclusive. With L4D1/L4D2, Valve isn't going to make one of their games x360 exclusive, at least not yet. Microsoft would make buying exclusives a strategic move, not just to buy everything and thereby force non-owners to buy an xbox.

"Console exclusive" is just stupid. If it's on a PC it's not exclusive, it's a multiplat game.

I see someone found all the leftover eggnog...

I don't see how the OP who many of you consider a troll is any worse than the rest of you in here bashing his views by flaming him. You don't like his opinion then say your point but no need to insult him, in fact no need to post if you're that convinced he's trying to rile you.
