If its on PC/360 is it exclusive?

[QUOTE="SUD123456"][

No, cow as in rabid PS3 fan, acting oblivious to anything that isn't an exclusive.

Thought I made that clear.

They call that poisoning the well.

You can choose to express your view. Or not.

But never presume to speak for me or read my mind, pls.

[QUOTE="EVOLV3"][QUOTE="navyguy21"]lol, we both know it doesnt work like that lol, you know that when multi games are being listed, people are quick to say "its on PC" lol, but ok navyguy21

[QUOTE="navyguy21"][QUOTE="EVOLV3"]

Because they are, thats why they are called multiplat. I dont know what your getting at.EVOLV3

[QUOTE="EVOLV3"][QUOTE="navyguy21"]im saying that people are creating threads that say 360 is dead next year because it has no games, and people list Alan Wake and a bunch of other PC/360 games, and people say "its not exclusive" yet its STILL coming out for 360, but you cant get it on PS3, so why cant it be mentioned?? No one ever said it was exclusive, yet people act like they dont count for some reason.navyguy21

[QUOTE="navyguy21"][QUOTE="EVOLV3"]

when people say 360 is dead in 2009, they mean in terms of exclusive. Both 360 and PS3 have alot of multiplat games coming in 2009.EVOLV3

The PS3 fans are extremely desperate since they only have 2 AAAE games (1 of which will soon no longer be exclusive) so they don't count Microsoft exclusives as exclusives in arguments. If it was Sony Windows then all the PS3 exclusives would go to PC as well, but the PS3 fans would still call them exclusives.

The 360 has 7 AAA Microsoft exclusives: Gears of War, Gears of War 2, Geometry Wars 2, Halo 3, Mass Effect, Forza 2, and Braid.

The PS3 has a pathetic 2 AAA Sony exclusives: MGS4, LittleBigPlanet (That will be down to 1 in 2009)

In my book since i don't give a **** about PC gaming it is exclusive.

When comparing a game PS3 vs 360. if the game is not on one of those consoles it is exclusive, but technically it is a multiplat.

If a game is on 360 and PC AND is published under Microsoft Games Studio, it's a Microsoft exclusive, therefore sony fanboys lose. Take that!B)longshotgir

Its not exclusive, but I hate how in SW people act like certain games don't exist if they are multiplat.blue_hazy_basic

63 fanboys confirmed! :Pjoopyme

sad but true. If a game is on more then one platform its not exclusive.

no exclusives will ever show which console is more powerful. i think multiplats are the only fair way to go tbh...

without adequate comparison there is no argument. simple stuff.

Did you seriously just ask if something is on two systems, whether its exclusive.

and do you really think MS makes money on consoles? they don't... it is a gateway for more purchases, but still.. little relevance given the post your replied to.

and, a little FYI here. purchasing an OS usually brings in more revenue than an entire derived 'attach rate' of games for the 360... just so you know. profit returns for OS sales, even OEM, TROUNCE console royalties / licensing fees.

there is no contest there. even if your computer shipped with Vista / XP MS makes more than they would from you buying a 360 + 4-6 games.

Yet, not all multiplate games are released in different time periods... it's more of a minority.

And if the game is confirmed multiplat PC/X360 and will only later in the year release on PC, some people might not buy a X360 and just wait for the release of PC... wich in other words hurt sales for X360 as a gaming console revenue.

everything on consoles is an IBM exclusive.Hewkii

[QUOTE="ronvalencia"][QUOTE="foxhound_fox"]
Then don't have an exclusive discussion. Mass Effect not being on the PS3 hurts the PS3. Gears of War not being on the PS3 hurts the PS3. The 360 losing those two games to the PC hurts the 360.Bebi_vegeta

It doesn't hurt Microsoft's important OS business group.

Note why subscription model exist i.e. constant revenue stream.

[QUOTE="Bebi_vegeta"]

[QUOTE="ronvalencia"] Usually, it doesn't hurt the Xbox 360 since game developers can release the same game in staggered releases methods.

I might use another OS... nothing attaches me to use Windows OS.

Subscription model?

The problem is that lems still do and they seem to block out its on PC too.

[QUOTE="EZs"]

If its on PC / 360 is it exclusive?

Yes it is because PC and 360 are both Microsoft related.

I love how you can see into the future. God wat a fanboy. Also you forgot resistance 2.

Exclusives = 1 System Multiplat = More than one. Console Exclusive = Don't exist Ta-da. Regardless of what you ultimately label them, they DO exist. we all know what is meant by the term "console exclusive" regardless if it is an oxymoron. ArisShadows

I don't see why Microsoft is a winner in the gaming departement... it would be like saying I have a PS3 to play games and a PC to surf the net, so Microsoft wins?

A games for windows title isn't any really different than any other windows title, except it supports a couple things like 360 controller, ms doesn't really profit from it directly.

Many people consider the PC/XBox 360 as one and the same platform, because they both use the same O/S that is manufactured by Microsoft. I don't consider the PC part of the same platform as the Wii, XBox 360, PS3, PSP, DS, etc.. for several reasons. 1) The PC was original created for business related work. It main purpose is for work and business related content. PC's main purpose was not for playing games. 2) PC's can be upgrade and modified at will. Game consoles can not. So they are not part of the same playform. 3) PC game compeition would be against the MAC or any other similar platform that's like the PC. You can't really compare consoles games with PC games, because console games are on a stagnant system that never changes.

This is why people say games are console exclusive, as the PC is not a game console. If the game can't be played on the Wii or PS3, it's exclusive to me.

Microsoft posted a loss of $315 million for its Entertainment and Devices sector--which covers the Xbox unit, Microsoft Game Studios, Games for Windows, and Zune.

Also, Alan Wake=Microsoft Game Studios

Just incase you were talking about Alan Wake not helping Microsoft no mater what you buy it for.

Let me start by saying that this is just public information and I'm putting 2 and 2 together but I highly doubt that Microsoft would post Games for Windows in there profit margin if it was not meant to earn money.Shattered007
