[QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]

The term exists and has been used for a decade. I didn't create it and will continue to use it. You're just wasting your time trying to argue it doesn't.cloudff7tm

It does exist and with a google search, it does seem like people use it like you do, but that doesn't make it right. It just sounds wrong. If the term is used, it sounds like it should mean games that are only on consoles like Red Dead, Mortal Kombat, etc. Saying that PC/360 games counts for exclusives for 360 is just wrong.

It's obvious that it's an advantage though so I don't know why people would even try to deny that. Not everybody has a PC that is capable of running Witcher 2 or some people may not like PC gaming.

It's not like we can stop you from using it though so I wouldn't attempt to tell you what you can and cannot say lol, but whatever.

Again, the term is widely used by the gaming industry. This includes developers, console makers and journalists. I'm not going to stop using the term and neither are they.KC_Hokie

[QUOTE="KC_Hokie"][QUOTE="UCF_Knight"] I don't care where it goes. I'll print it out and stick it on my wall, I don't care.

Either way, you cannot use incorrect terms to support your console of choice. If someone was trying to use a "Sony exclusive" I'm sure your opinion wouldn't be so rigid. ;)

UCF_Knight

What kind of rule is it if it can't stop people from using the term anyway?

[QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]

[QUOTE="Heil68"] True..but at the end of the day they don't count towards exclusives in the spreadsheet, which is all that really matters. It's been like that forever here as well and isn't going to change. Heil68

Except it doesn't.The term console exclusive doesn't even make sense the way you're using. Console exclusive sounds like a game you can get on consoles but not on PC. Like RDR.

This year they will have the best Christmas line-up in the 360's history. As a PS3 fan, I am pretty stoked about the 3 exclusives that are coming out. Forza 4 will be amazing. I love GT5 but I admit that Forza 3 does a lot of things right. I think GT5 and Forza 3 are neck and neck but Forza 4 will be the best console racer on the market when it is released. Gears 3 looks simply amazing.

And despite what cows claim, Gears 3 multiplayer looks better than Uncharted 3's, and is a funner game to play. And the Halo remake. I am sure it won't have the lasting appeal of other Halo's but anyone who says that it is a horrible game never played it. Any Halo junkie will wanna play through it again. And no hermits, that Halo remake on the PC is not the same thing.

I am thinking cows should step back a second before they rag Microsoft up and down for its lack of exclusives. They may not have 3 coming out a month but when you have the 3 they have I doubt lemmings are gonna be crying to hard. And those 3 are 100% AAA in the bank.. I am not convinced Uncharted 3 will have another game this holiday to help compete with that line-up.WarTornRuston

Man.. all i see is your fanboyism. 2 measly exclusives that are sequels ain't much of a big a deal. Be glad, by all means, but don't brag. And a remake? With a poor engine at that (i've seen the pics)? And @ that bolded part, you got that right. It'll be infinitely superior on the PC (hope modders do something with those piss poor textures).

The recent XBL downloadable titles seem to be mighty fine though, i've seen some. Were they at in your thread ? Man at least brag about something worth it, not about some exclusives that have ben hyped to death already because that's the only thing the box got on hold.

[QUOTE="i5750at4Ghz"]The fact it sold 2 million in its first week only validates VGchartz. VGchartz is no different than any other source of sales outside of the publisher itself. Even the NPD is a huge guess, as it's missing alot of data.UCF_Knight

[QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]Well, it's a console exclusive. It doesn't matter what box you check it counts in the end.KC_Hokie

Sorry, but mods have ruled there is no such thing as console exclusive. You can say it's in the lineup, but you cannot bring them into a discussion about exclusives BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT EXCLUSIVE.

Why does the term not exist?Karnage108

I understand that a game being on multiple platforms would simply be called a multiplat, but that would only refer to the platforms that the game is available to play on. What about the platform it's NOT on?

But then again this place isn't one for showing much logic

How? I said "If Mass Effect 2 is any proof, it might not sell so well". We're talking about TW2 coming to 360. So I made the analogy of ME2 coming to the PS3.

Two exclusives and a multiplatform game at the end of the year can't exactly save the Xbox 360's desert of a year so far on the retail front.Stevo_the_gamer

Yeah, wait what Multi-platform, Gears Forza and HALO CE Remake are only on the 360

Also, it's gonna ba e great year for ps3 owners and 360 owners. What with LBP2, UC3, Resistance 3.Infamous 2,Twisted Metal, Journey, ECT.

But Ms is also gonna have a great year, Gears 3, Forza 4, Halo Remake, Minecraft, Mrs.Splosion Man, Trenched, Toy Soldiers:Cold War, and that XBL TV Program they keep talking about.

I still dont see how one game on more than one platform is considered exclusive.

Huh? Last I checked MS was selling metric ****-tons of hardware, and that was throughout a relatively weak (third-party wise) first half of the year with a console that's still at $300 for their bread-and-butter SKUs (ie 250GB and 4GB+Kinect). Between Halo, Gears, Forza, CoD, Kinect and the room for a price cut, I can't imagine they're going to struggle at retail come Q4.

Unless you're talking about games, in which case I point to my previous "who gives a ****?" post.
