PC & 360 Exclusive or not?

[QUOTE="peacebringer"] [QUOTE="LosDaddie"]

Console games have far greater sales than PC games. Just look at any NPD figure.

LosDaddie

And just how many copies of HL2 have been sold?

guys pc is not a platform, i already proved this on page 2 of this thread so why are we here at page 8?

why do hermits go into damage control when i post? If you have a problem go yell at every dictionary manufacturer. Unless you can change the definition of platform then the pc is not a platform i already proved this. Games like Alan Wake and Bioshock are EXCLUSIVE to the xbox 360

stop. the pc counts in system wars just as much as the 360, ps3, and wii do. stop trying to change the premise of the forum just so you can make a point.

no. if it can be played on both the pc and the 360 then it's obviously not exclusive to either.

Cows are just mad that they cant get to play Bioshock. Sorry but its exclusive to the xbox360RTweaponchange

i'm a cow now? :roll:

what is a pc gamer supposed to think when you tell him that he only imagined playing bioshock because it's only available for the 360?

My God this is sad. Through this whole thread, lemmings have been in damage control. The topic went from "Is a PC/360 game exclusive" to "The PC wouldn't sell as many games if its on the 360". I mean WTF, if its on any other platform (which the PC IS) its NOT exclusive. A platform is "a group of compatible computers that can run the same software." The PC is a platform because its "a microcomputer designed for individual use, as by a person in an office or at home or school, for such applications as word processing, data management, financial analysis, or computer games."A video game console is a interactive entertainment computer or electronic device that manipulates the video display signal of a display device (a television, monitor, etc.) to display a game. A video game console is basically a closed PC. All the things you need in a PC is in a console. Motherboard, RAM, Processor, input device and such. All needed in both. They (were) closed off from doing anything else but to play the media they were programed to use. If you don't want to count the PC as a platform because it could do multiple things, then I guess you can't count the PS3 or 360 as a platform since they could go online, play music, watch movies, download just about anything and have hard drives, much like a PC. Stop with the damage control, except that if its on the PC and 360 its not exclusive to the 360 no matter how you spin it (this also goes to the other consoles), stop crying and move on with your life.Ezgam3r

:lol: the only one in damage control is you. You are trying to control the damage that I made by posting the correct definition of a platform.

I have a pc in my house that is from 1993. It can not run the same software as the computer that I am posting from right now, do you want to know why? its because pcs arnt a platform. PC's are just that, personal computers. The hardware is completely customizable, so the result of that is more advanced software cannot run on that older hardware. Because every xbox 360 has the same motherboard, cpu, gpu and memory that makes it a platform whereas, the pc is not

you're letting some rigid definition of a word get in the way of what people are talking about. in these forums, the pc is considered a platform.

The PC is not a microsoft platform. Theres no way around this fact. Even IF you are running a Microsoft OS, you are using someone else's game engine. I guess the PC platform is an ID or EPIC platform, maybe even a VALVE platform. Or what about those parts in your computer? I guess its a Kingston, AMD, NVIDIA, ATI, INTEL platform as well. The PC is a collaboration of companies. By no means does Microsoft own it. And the first person to say "Games for Windows LAWL" will get a royal beat down by facts. Be preared.Vandalvideo

No, it's not exclusive.

If it is on any other platform it cannot be considered exclusive.

People say it doesn't matter that most 360 games are also on PC but most Xbox games were also on PC. It's a major reason the Xbox was less preferred than the PS2.

I think MS need to work harder to secure games solely for the 360 and I think they've done a good job so far but they need to work harder. Gears, Banjo, Kameo, PGR, Forza, Mass Effect are all good (and in some cases upcoming) exclusives imo.

 Thats garbage! The only reason people prefered the PS2 over the XBOX was "MORE GAMES" remember the old PS2 arguement? Im sure everyone else does!

the pc and 360 are seperate systems. there's no way around it. you can't put a 360 game into a computer and expect it to work nor can you put a pc game into a 360 and expect it to work. just because pcs use windows as an operating system doesn't mean that 360/pc multiplats are microsoft exclusives.

The Vista/Xbox Live connection will I gather ,erase all exclusives to the Xbox 360, in the future? I always thought the system war was designated between Sony, MS, and Nintendo.. I want to play games in my living room, not behind a monitor in my office. Is this rediculous thread just to prove that Sony has more "exclusives" ?dru26

Well since you're not making the arguement that Microsoft owns the platform, why repsond? I mean you aren't really refuting what I'm saying. You're merely scaling down the degree to which my arguement works. It still totally works. By the console fanboy's logic just because you use Microsoft software its a MIcrosoft platform. You use other companies in your computer as well. So by his logic its all of their platforms. Heres the funny thing. The TC is arguing against himself.Vandalvideo

what seperates them is that one is a gaming console while the other one is a personal computer. its like comparing car cd players to cd players. they both have the same function but one can do something that the other one cant thats why they are different.beldugo

you can play the same cd on a car player and a home player. :|

point is the only way you can play bioshock is if MS gets payed.beldugo

both run microsoft software.
one is game console or enterntainment system, the other is a Personal computer (PC).

if lets say Halo 3 releases for PC and 360. who is the one at lose? the 360 or pc? or the other console that will never get it? like Sony, NES and Mac.

its funny when people dont call does game exclusive when their both running on microsoft software not on sony, nintendo, linux, or mac software.

if you dont think does are call exclusive explain.

If a game come sout on 360 AND PC it is still 360 exclusive because the PC market has NOTHING whatsoever to do with the console market. They are 2 COMPLETELY Different audiences. Why do you think all sales charts are top 10 all formats & then  top 10 PC seperatly? Besides PC gamers look down on ALL consoles as dumbed down kiddy crap, even xbox.

Besides if 360 & PC no longer counts as 360 exclusive then Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid & Devil May Cry can no longer be called playstation exclusives because they have ALL seen pc releases so you can no logner sure that ps3 is the ONLY place to play those games because many past, playstation exclusive, entires in those serieses are also available on PC. Now should I buy DMC3 for $29.99 on ps2 or $14.99 on PC? MGS2:subsistence DVD-rom only on PC, $14.99 new. Just some examples.
