Last time I checked the PC is not a console and a game on the PC does not effect any console in any way. Console exclusivity is very important, I may have my gripes with 360 but to me games like Bioshock & GeOW are 360 exclusive because the PC has nothing to do with console gaming or is part of the console war. whoop-a-di-do-da a game is on the PCso it meansit's not an exclusive to a particular console, news flush buddy, it's CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE !

No matter how you spin you can't deny that the PC has no effect in the console war or on exclusivity. A PC maybe a gaming platform but it's not something which is family friendly, I mean you gonna have to upgrade youPC everytime a new game comes out !

Console exclusive? Yes.

System exclusive? No.

People have to make sure they point that out at the beginning of their threads.

well there is the term "console exclusive".

but yes the PC effects console business. every time a PC game is sold that is also sold on another console, the PC wins. that console has lost a sale. vise versa too. consoles (as we are seeing) are having a huge effect on PCs due to cross platform development.

this is system wars...not console wars. the PC is very much involved and cannot be counted out. threads need to specific about platforms being discussed.

the bottom line is yes there is an established console fanbase larg enough that GS should consider a console war forum. But then this place would be a desert. The PC forums would be a desert because every hermit would be in console wars telling us console fans how they have a better gaming expirience. Do you really want all that? why when we can just all complain in here? isnt that just more fun? Or not.

Count me in the "a game is exclusive IF IT IS ONLY AVAILABLE ON ONE PLATFORM, COMPUTER OR CONSOLE" camp. One more game that's available on the PC is one less game that makes me want to buy a console, especially with the advantages that PC versions of games tend to have(mods, superior graphics, better online gaming, etc.). Also, you're blowing the necessity of upgrades way out of proportion. You could lower the settings a bit on newer games while using the same hardware, and it would probably still look better than console games released around the same timeframe-that is, if the game in question isn't an unoptimized piece of trash that bogs down even the greatest of PCs to its knees while not looking good enough to justify it. (No, I wouldn't quite place Crysis in that category.)

Lol my pc is currently stronger than my X360 so why would I need to upgrade when games on both systems will look better on my pc no matter what?

Btw compare the pcs and x360s library if you really think people with a good pc are gonna buy and enjoy a 360 you are dead wrong. I did that and I hardly use my 360 now because almost all of its good games make thier way on to PC. Even the mighty halo does as well.

So basically... you never checked? If I buy COD4 on the PC, thats one less sale for the 360. Not that difficult of a concept. Just because they aren't *always* in competition, doesn't mean that are *never* in competition.

Console exclusivity is very important, I may have my gripes with 360 but to me games like Bioshock & GeOW are 360 exclusive because the PC has nothing to do with console gaming or is part of the console war. whoop-a-di-do-da a game is on the PCso it meansit's not an exclusive to a particular console, news flush buddy, it's CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE !

Swift_Boss_A

Bioshock and COD4 are PC exclusives, because I don't care about consoles. See that last sentence? See how stupid that sounds? Thats you. Thats what you sound like.

No matter how you spin you can't deny that the PC has no effect in the console war or on exclusivity. A PC maybe a gaming platform but it's not something which is family friendly, I mean you gonna have to upgrade youPC everytime a new game comes out !

Oh yeah, I'm sure everybody needs to go out and buy an 8800GT for Diner Dash and World of Warcraft. :roll:
