If its on PC/360 is it exclusive?

Absolutely! Its a Microsoft exclusive. Windows is a Microsoft product. So unless the game is released on PC for Linux and OSX as well as windows then its a Microsoft exclusive. Sorry fanboys thems the facts.

If a game is on more than one system (PC/X360 or PC/PS3) its no longer exclusive because one no longer has to buy an X360 or a PS3 to play it. As long as there is an option to play that particular game on another platform, the "exclusive-power" of the game is lost. Sure some people may still buy an X360 or PS3 for that particular game but a person with an awesome PC will be under no obligation to do so.II_Seraphim_II

If its on PC its not and exclusive. As the whether or not PC/X360 games and PC/PS3 games should be used in X360 vs PS3 debates, that all depends on the thread creator. And let me reiterate something I have said time and time again: The point of an exclusive is to have a game that is so iresistable that one is has no choice but to buy that particular gaming system to play it. If a game is on more than one system (PC/X360 or PC/PS3) its no longer exclusive because one no longer has to buy an X360 or a PS3 to play it. As long as there is an option to play that particular game on another platform, the "exclusive-power" of the game is lost. Sure some people may still buy an X360 or PS3 for that particular game but a person with an awesome PC will be under no obligation to do so. Ask yourself this: Some people bought an X360 awaiting the arrival of a GTA4. Does that make GTA4 an exclusive? The answer is no. Since GTA4 is available on 3 different systems, one has to conclude that there were other reasons the person bought it on the X360...maybe they liked the controller more or they heard the graphics were better or they always wanted to try out Halo3 so they decided to go for an X360 and kill 2 birds with 1 stone.II_Seraphim_II

Of course not. It's avaible on more than one platform, thus it's not exclusive. As simple as that. I don't see PS3 fanboys claiming Agency or DC Online to be PS3 exclusive after all

360/pc games cant be played on ps3 therefore they count, look the same crowd that buy consoles aren't likely to be the same crowd with top end gaming pc's, this whole you cant count that game cus its on the pc as well is just lame fanboy stuff, fact is a very small minority of gamers have machines capable of playing a game like mass efffect to the quality you get on the 360, If everyone had pc's capable of playing these games then consoles wouldn't exist, so a 360/pc exclusive is certainly valid in a ps3vs 360 debate, ps3 fanboys cannot treat that game as if they can play it as well.sonny2dap

Well said and a fact , cows like to hide behind the pc and act as if the games don't count. If they acknowledge the truth these games are not playable on PS3 and count in overall library discussions. This makes the PS3's library very subpar to the 360 and is why they hide behind the PC or only talk about "exclusives" when the fact remains ITS STILL ON THE 360 NOT THE PS3. This would work the otherway around for PS3/PC games but there aran't many and not the caliber of 360/pc games. And to the cows who say "oh I'll play the superior version on my gaming rig" who cares your the monority.(and these are usually the ones who like to make the 360 vs PS3 threads)

I always thought microsoft were shooting themselves in the foot with "exclusive games"

It waters down the exclusivity on the xbox 360, and so the other consoles have more proper exclusives.

How is it exclusive to 1 platform when it's on 2 platforms?

Of course it isn't.

Yes it is... to Microsoft :P.

Honnestly I don't care if a game is also on the PC, I still call it exclusive.

Is it exclusive? No. Is it console exclusive? Yes. As much as some on here try to act like console exclusive games do not matter they are just wrong. When the average person goes into a store to buy a console he will look at price where the 360 wins. He will also look at game library and the 360 wins there also. Console exclusive games help make one game library better then the other. PS3 and the 360 are going against each other more then the other systems since the other 2 go for a different crowd. I am not saying the PC or Wii are bad in anyway but over all it is a different crowd then the PS3 and the 360. The 360 just has far more games then the PS3 and one of the reasons is the console exclusive games.rybe1025

I love your post dude, everytime I see the orc avatar I know an extreme amount of rampant unchecked Xbox fanboyism is about to follow.

Keep it up bro, some of us need a good laugh :lol:

[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"]BEsides having to install games What differences does a PC have from a consoles? I mean we upgrade with new consoles after so many years for better graphics , they just manually do the work themselvesbladeeagle

PS3 installs games but that's still a console.

PC is not a console because a console is a machine designed for consumers to buy and use solely for playing video games.

A PC is not a console because you can do so much more on than consoles. Another reason is that PC isn't controlled by anyone like how the 360 is controlled by Microsoft or Sony to PS3. There is no owner of the PC so any developer can make games on it free of charge.

Tell that to all the people who bought a Ps3 for blue Ray

Microsoft doesn't benefit from people playing games on a PC running Linux. They make 360 hardware... nVidia, ATI, AMD and Intel make PC hardware.

The only way you can distinguish between games that aren't "exclusive" are games like Assassin's Creed for the consoles and handhelds. The only thing they actually share is a name, neither are directly related to each other.

Alan Wake is not exclusive. Nor is many other PC games that are also on 360. Saying they are is only a means of devaluing the PC as a legitimate gaming platform.

It is on multiple platforms. It is a multiplat. "PC" is not a Microsoft platform.Vandalvideo

What the heck? :lol: are you serious?

See what you wrote there, you asked, if its "ON" 360 "AND" PC, is it exclusive? you had your answer in your question.

A big NO.

You shouldn't even asked because you knew it yourself, only lemmings consider these shared titles as exclusives when they compare it with PS3 exclusives or Wii exclusives but in reality, in real life, I can find the same game on PC and 360.

Ask yourself this question, why don't PC fanboys say the same thing about Alan Wake for example?

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"]It is on multiple platforms. It is a multiplat. "PC" is not a Microsoft platform.ronvalencia

That's probably because your laptop is running a Windows OS. Microsoft didn't make that laptop and Windows is not necessary for that laptop to run.

I like the term console exclusive. After all you only get to play it on the 360 and not on the PS3 and Wii.haris12121212

Well thats right, and id like to know why no PC/360 game is ever PC exclusive, its always xbox exclusive...

Nice point there. :P

But seriously, all people have to do is include multiplats in their arguements in there wouldn't be this problem. Fanboys just got this fixation that there has to be an "e" at the ends of all there A's.

[QUOTE="ronvalencia"]AMD/ATI designs/supports the Xenos GPU and obtains licence fees from Microsoft. foxhound_fox

Customers purchasing ATI's earlier wintel GPUs helped with development of Xenos and ultimately ATI's R600. X86/X64 PC and Microsoft has a symbiosis relationship. There is one word to remember in the PC industry i.e. "Wintel". AMD64's development has the support of Microsoft i.e. AMD's "SledgeHammer" (codename for K8 processors) and Microsoft Windows "Anvil" ( codename for Windows X64 edition). Note the relationship between a hammer and an anvil. This is the X86-to-X64 path. One the reasons why PowerPC 620 died are due to Microsoft's lack of support for X86-to-POWER64 path. ronvalencia
