is it just me or has anyone noticed these past months ms has been giving away the xbox 360 exclusive hits to pc. im not going to list them here but geow was bad enough. adding 5 new levels to the pc version just isnt fair for 360 users. and it could alsobe killing 360 sales b/cppl dont have to buy a 360 they could just wait for the good 360 games to come to pc with even more content!

Well...in a way I guess you could say more PC games=more window's vista OS's bought, and more of their games are bought, also expanding the Windows Live user base. Maybe killing 360, but not Microsoft.

I wouldn't worry too much... the 5 new levels will eventually come to the 360 as downloadable content. You just won't see it until after holiday. I don't consider the 360 and PC to be in direct competition... you've seen far more cannibalism in the reverse... from PC to 360.

Thanks for the compliment, kurupt... Mr. T is pretty intimidating btw ;) But seriously... regarding GoW specifically, it's over a year old for one. Also, PC players expect a little something called content, and at no additional charge, generally. GoW is too shallow to make a great PC game without these additions. Imo of course.

yes but his point is that they're killing the xbox 360 by making the pc more appealling by giving the pc several xbox 360 exclusives.

No, because most people don't have vista/high end pc's so those games are only easily accesible via 360 unless they want to spend a lot for a gaming computer. And they aren't giving that much.

No the hardcore PC gamers aren't going to migrate to a console anyways so its not like they are losing that audience, the people who play consoles are the more laid back people who don't like the keyboard and mouse set up and can't afford to upgrade their pc. All in all it just adds more people to the amazing live community so you can have more people to play against. I don't think it really hurts the 360 I think in a way it could help it. It's not like anyone was like you know I think I will spend 2 grand on keeping my PC up to date just so I can play Halo 2 three years after everyone else.

yes, releasing Gears on the PC is going to hurt 360 sales :roll:

How many people are going to say "hey, I think I'm going to buy a $1000+ PC and instead of a 360 so I can play Gears of War."

yeah, sure, there are other factors like a PC will do everything for you so that 1000 bucks isn't just going towards playing one game. I'm just putting this out there.

They are probably doing themselves a favor by porting over. The user base for the 360 might actually grow by doing that.

No, but they are having to sacrifice orphans to insure the longevity of the 360 lifespan.

Its all about the money Microsoft win with both formats and with all the money they need to fork out for repairs on the 360this is a viable way for them to make the short fall. I went through 2 360s 1 red ringed the other ringed 3 game discs. Microsoft really need to sort out customer services as this is the main reason i sold my refurbished box last month. The one i got back was even noisier also.
