System Wars [read: exclusive wars]

Alright. Tell me this. What makes exclusives so important? We certainly have enough threads on the board about them. When someone isn't arguing about graphics, they're arguing about exclusives.

Sorry, but I don't have the time to play every "amazing" exclusive game that's out. Any PC gamer will know what I'm talking about: you have to pick and choose. Yeah, I understand that exclusive games tend to be better than their multiplat counterparts, and that they help sell a system, but that's only a tendancy, not a rule.

Exclusives are important because they make buying console A better than console B.

If both consoles have the same games, you'll just buy the cheaper one, more often than not.Jandurin
