No, people dont buy windows to play a specific game.

They will be buying Vista to play Halo 2 and any game that is being released under the Games for Windows Banner......

I don't care, but they aren't exclusive if they're available on another platform. It doesn't matter to me. I just like it when games go multiplat so I get more games. I was happy with Assassin's Creed going multiplat because it meant I didn't have to fork over 600 bucks for the game. Not because it was teh ownage.

I love how people just gloss over this part:

"So don't hold out hope or put money down on a pre-order of a PC version of Gears just yet -- it just isn't happening this year."

So let me get this straight: I have to wait more than a year, plus upgrade my operating system and possibly get a new videocard for a game that will be 20 bucks when the PC version comes out? That makes a lot of sense....

perhaps because they are BOTH microsoft platforms so having games on both is how MS benefits most?

MS doesn's get any money from PC games, unlike 360 games, in which they get a certain profit.......no one owns PC gaming.

No, they don't. The devs of 360 games have to give a certain amount of their profit to MS, while the devs of PC games don't have to give crap to them.

[QUOTE="colmusterd28"][QUOTE="useLOGIC"]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



"If someone has a high end PC" mmm ok so not a very large percentage...

Its the spin that concerns me the most....People will claim that Gears going to pc is this devestating loss for XBOX when It'll probably come out when Gears of War 2 is coming out...Its still every bit an exclusive for the 360. PC will get some scraps...


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.

actualyl, from your definition you just proved that they are exclusive as MS, being PC and 360 is shutting out Sony and Nintendo from their games and only releasing them on their platforms nice self ownage buddy

every single PC developer has to pay Microsoft to develop games for their platform genius :| ever heard of DirectX? ya, that's from MS You have to pay MS to license DX technology now gtfo

lemmings should get an award because they are the masters of DAMAGE CONTROL

"oh noes but the controls wont be as good" the same people who have a usb pc controller...
"youll be waiting while i play gears2" crysis...tfc2...
"who cares" everyone who doesnt wanna drop 400$ on a 360 but already own a decent rig... you know.. real gamers who haven't found a reason to buy a 360 yet
"but ms still wins because its pc" so sony wins when most people play 360s on hd sony tvs

I personally don't consider a game a multiplat if it's on a console and also on a PC since it's not on other consoles, but that's just me.

pc gaming and console gaming are completely different animals..

the only ones who think otherwise are the ignorant haters trying to fabricate any bad press for the 360....

pc gaming blows... it's no fun, it's not social, and it blows having to play on a 19" monitor...

the money console games make over pc gaming proves this...

Think what you want but on these forums if it any game goes to pc from any console it's no longer exculsive. That's rules.

no. the pc is part of system wars and is a seperate system from the 360.
