[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"][QUOTE="Bgrngod"][QUOTE="Vandalvideo"][QUOTE="Bgrngod"][QUOTE="XaosII"][QUOTE="Bgrngod"]"Console Exclusive" means nothing to YOU because you play PC games. To plenty of people on SW Consoles are the only option so PC's get chucked out of the equation when arguing between the different consoles.Bgrngod
Then someone that doesnt own a PS3 makes "PS3 exclusive" or "PS3/360 exclusive" meaningless because they dont own a PS3. Pretending a game doesnt exist on a platform you dont own doesnt actually make it true. Getting gaming PC is just as possible as going to a store and picking up a PS3. The discussions have always been about the games.
They are not ignoring it because they don't own a PC, they are ignoring it because PC's are different from Console gaming. Getting PC gaming is quite a bit different then Console gaming simply because of the combination between cost/complexity. It's undeniable that many Console gamers disregard the PC factor simply because it is not something they are able to do. So theoretically if a standardized PC existed that was as easy to use and as cheap as aconsole then for all intents and purposes it would bea console? *Waits anxiously for your response* If such a PC existed it wouldn't be a PC, it would be a console, as evidenced by the Xbox and Xbox 360. Oh but it plays PC games and does everything a PC does, but has the ease of use of a console. What do you call such a thing? A console? I guess a PC can be a console then. Completely ignoring the fact that building a PC is not cost affective for many people that buy console games. PC's do not have anywhere close to the easy of use of a console. The simple fact that consoles exist is a testament to this. Consoles are cheaper, and easier, and offer a unified platform for developers to work with. Just keep denying the fact that PC gaming and Console gaming are different.....
Exactly, if I want to play Crysis properly I have to spend more then the PS3 or 360 and ofcourse Wii.
I mean don't console gaming sales shadow PC game sales? I think it does for a reason and as he said consoles are easier to use which is 100% true like the Wii is. Freaking parents are using the Wii and grandparents. There are people who can't use a mouse but can use the Wiimote. Console and PC's are two different animals.
Personally I feel most people don't have PC's that can play these kinds of games, I know very few that do personally and I know many gamers. And more importantly I like seperating my PC from my gaming. I don't like spending too much time in front of a PC cause I did that at work couple years ago working on a project and I got a eye problem which caused blurry eyes and crust etc... Playing a console is more comfortable and is more casual friendly and more intriging to non-gamers. That's why these 360 games are still exclusive to me cause their main competition doesn't have them. If PC was a huge competition to them and ruined sales for them then why would Microsoft be working so closely with PC gaming and the 360?
And on top of that if you wanna argue it being non exclusive ruins sales you're wrong. Halo 2 is still not out yet for the PC therefor when it does come out it will not affect the 360. And Gears of war will take years to go on PC and by that time it will also not affect the 360.
Main argument for me is that PC and Consoles are a different kind of gaming, if they aren't to you people then go argue with the PC hermits who say consoles are garbage to PC's. And btw Halo and Gears are being done through MS so they get paid on every sale of a copy of the game even if Sony gets it for example
