You know like Gears of war 2, Alan wake and fable. If all the 360 exclusives keep going to the pc, it will convice people to buy a ps3 and upgrade their pc as they can then get all the games. Why does MS keep porting their ips(GOeW) to the PC?

Alan Wake will be on PC. Mass Effect probably, and Gears 2 most likely a year after 360 launch.

Not all of them, but it works both ways aswell.

And yea I should tell you, Alan Wake is not a 360 game, its only ever been shown on a Quad Core PC. It will be a port on the 360.

How does 360 games ending up on the PC make people buy PS3's? That makes no sense. And games like Alan Wake & Gears were always knnown to be going to PC & 360, they were never "exclusive" to the 360.

I don't think MS is really concerned about 360 games being on PC as most all PC games require WINDOWS to play them on, and most PC gamers use Windows. especially with how PC games all have the "games for windows" stripe on the top of the box now

Alan wakes main platform is PC. So its not exclusive to 360 if its being made on PC first. Hmm. I could see the next Gears goin to PC.

Well, I had a customer yesterday who said he "hated the Xbox 360, because it's just another dumbed down PC". Evidently that same day he was picking up a PS3.

Not that my example is any indication of nationwide/wordwide perception, but it was interesting nonetheless.

No. Many (specifically those published by MSGS and major 3rd party publishers) will, but that works both ways, and we will likely see 360 versions of many PC exclusives like WiC and SupCom.

With 350$(price of the 360) you can buy a nice graphics card and a mid range CPU, enough to play all games at least on medium settings which look at least 2x better than the 360, the only downside with pc gaming is that you have to wait for games but at least for me, i own a Wii, a somewhat-high end PC and PS3, I get to play most if not ALL games this gen. It's only a matter of time before I get to play Mass Effect on my PC without framerate issues and less bugs:P lol

Yep. It's not necessary a bad thing, because 360 is getting some nice games like Left 4 Dead.

I find it funny that most of hermits dont care if we get a port from the 360 to PC but if its a port from PC to 360. All the 360 fanboys jump for joy. Its alittle sad.

Firstly, Microsoft makes money off of the PC ports. That's why they do it.

Secondly, why would a game being available on the PC as well as the 360 make someone want a PS3? That makes no sense whatsoever...

The huge ones, yes. GoW is there. Previous Halos are there. I won't be surprised if Halo 3 pops up there.

Wow, when was Mass Effect, Halo 3, AC6, Dead Rising, GRAW (you know, the GOOD version), Kameo, etc. announced for the PC?Verge_6

If that's all you've got then there's definitely no reason to have a 360. I'm kind of regretting buying mine recently because although the exclusives are decent, I could've easily lived without them.

Guess there's no reason to have a PS3 either, seeing as it has yet to have a single AAA exclusive. After all, who gives a flying damn about all those multiplats and upcoming games? And the fact some people don't have the money to get a PC that can give them an experience similar to the 360...pssh, who cares. :roll:

Until it's officially announced, one cannot say they are no longer 360-exclusive. Those are the rules.

No, but gears, bioshock are and the 360 is loosing key exclusives to the PC. That means we can upgrade our PC and buy a PS3(but its costly) and enjoy MOST of what this gen has to offer.

BTW i am pissed off because of the exclusive games 360 share with the pc and the PS3 still get to keep their exclusives. Why does MS port thei own ip to the PC and not keep it exclusive, sound stupid to me.

1)Gears of War took literally a year before it was ported to the PC, and Bioshock was NEVER a 360 exclusive to begin with. And why would I want to enjoy MOST of what this gen has to offer when I can enjoy ALL that this gen has to offer? Riddle me that.

2)...Think about this. What company is behind the 360, and what company is behind the dominating OS?

I know I was just making a point. I can't go out and buy ME for PC but it has a good chance of making it's way to PC along with Halo 3.

MS dominating OS really has nothing to do with PC gaming really =/. Only thing they use games for with thier OS is to push said OS to be main stream. Hence why there are some Vista only games. I'm pretty sure they are paying the price for that though.

Well the games that are usually put on PC at a later date are published by MS so yes it does have to do with them and the OS. A third party exclusive going to PC though is just the luck of the draw.

Who cares, how does this effect you in some kind of negative way? If anything, the odds of you experiencing kick-arse games like Halo 3, Mass Effect or Gears have just gotten better yet your complaining about it? Seeing as how people like to remind us that the USA != The World, well SW != Anything as there are about 17 million people who could care less about t3h "exclusive" game. 17 million VS some faceless person on a forum, I choose the former thanks.

I'm saying MS dominating the OS area has nothing to do with PC gaming. Them publishing a game doesn't make a difference until that game requires say... Windows vista and doesn't run on any other OS. There are almost no games that are vista only so it has very little to do with PC gaming..

If that person already owns a decent PC, which is a good chance, then that is why.
