This exclusives nonsense is getting out of hand. Here is the excerpt from the SW board rules:
"So what definition of exclusives are we using? That will depend on the context of the discussion, and that's the beauty of it. Calling Street Fighter V a PS4 exclusive in context of a PS4 vs Xbox One discussion is perfectly acceptable, as is calling ReCore an Xbox One exclusive. Discussing the value of soft exclusives like these in the context of the larger market is a discussion that is now welcomed, rather than before, where it was against the metagame, and therefore invalid.
Of course, an absolute exclusive is still the best, because no one can really argue against it- but soft exclusives are no longer grounds for derailed discussions or dismissal."
In other words, if you are pitching PS vs XBox against each other, it's fine to call things like SFV and ReCore exclusives - because you can't play them on the other system. If you are pitching PS vs PC or XBox vs PC, they are not exclusives in that discussion, because they can be played on both platforms. Context is critical here: are you debating PS vs XBox brands, or not?
Looks like the moderator has spoken, from Gamespot. But as you can see, they are not following those rules set forth by Gamespot.
Looks like we've gone off topic over here then :P :P :P
