XBOX 360 porting to PC NOT LOSS OF EXCLUSIVE!!

and PS3 gets none. either way, Microsoft wins and profits, and Sony loosesgamergeekgeek

gears was 360 exclusive now it's going to PC. yup that is a loss.flipknoc

But see, the point of exclusives is to get people to buy that console.

When a game comes out for the PC when it was on the 360, people don't need to buy the 360.

Therefore, it is a loss of an exclusive.

It does make money indirectly from the game, because most games play on a windows platform. And you're right that no one does or will ever own pc gaming.

in a long time. Halo 2 isnt on the pc even yet

If the game can be found anywhere other than one console then it is not an exclusive.

Microsoft does not profit from games released on PC's. Windows is merely an operating system... it is not a PC brand.

So?

Unlike Xbox players,  I don't have ADD or ADHD

in terms of the console itself, its a loss of an exclusive. now if someone wants to pick of gears and they have a highend pc, and gears comes out for pc, they no longer have to worry about picking up a 360. how is that not a loss of an exclusive? :SuseLOGIC

since we SW'ers like to have things official, lets be official on the definition of the word "exclusive":

from dictionary.com:

exclusive -

adjective

4. shutting all others out from a part or share

360 =/= pc.
