[QUOTE="jazreal"]your right, it is a Gaming platform. all im saying is that if a game comes out on 360 and pc, its still exclusive to "consoles".....can we agree on that?jazreal

If you really want to get into a PS3/360 fight, then have a contest between the two that compares the games that the other one doesn't get. And don't call them exclusives: just compare the games between the two systems. They aren't exclusives. Just deal.

EXCUSE ME?????? DEAL??????? dont even come at me like that!!! who do you think you are? im dealing with things just fine thank you very much. all im doing is answering a question that was asked of me(not you to begin with) and this is just my opinion on what people say. the question was a general question "why does it matter" and im anwering why i think it matters here at SW. back off kid

The complaint that 360's should get some sort of "pseudo-exclusive" for games that are on PC and 360 only has been done to death. Every time, Casey and other long-time SW folks have said that something being a "console exclusive" doesn't matter. This is System Wars. Not Console Wars. If you can get the same experience somewhere else, it's not exclusive.

I'm going to answer it the best I can. A pc is a personal computer that can be modified, and customized to the users needs. A console is a game console, its pretty much confined to playing games, atleast that is its main purpose. With technology growing a console has changed very much but not in the way a PC can. The bottom line is that consoles do not compete with PCs. So if that statment is not true on what I just said that means that the PSP is competition with the 360, going by what you are saying, because I mean they all play similar games. I mean the pc, and I dont care what you say about it, it is a different animal than a console, and always will be. So sense the pc is a different thing all together how can you say it is the same as a console. The 360 competes with PS3 as to who is the king of consoles, the pc compete with macs, so if the 360 has a game that is not on the ps3 than that should stand as exclusive because it is not available on the PS3 or the Wii. Thats my point

I'm pretty sure we're in System Wars, not Console Wars. You can't exclude PC's just because they can do more things than consoles can. You're close to saying that you couldn't include the PS3 in System Wars based on the fact that you can swap out hard drives, install operating systems, and now use mods with some games.

You don't get to make up your own rules in a debate forum. Sorry.

Not suprised this has been debunked. Guess I don't need to rush out to get a PS3 with the Emotion Engine after all...

So if we want the emotion engine, we have to get it now or never? :?

I'm going to wait until the news is confirmed on a couple more big gaming websites, but I might be buying my PS3 early to make sure I get the better backwards compatibility...

It's unfortunate you won't consider the PC version, because that will be best. That said, if UT3 is one of your most anticipated games, get it for PS3. Mods make UT what it is.

You know what's upsetting about statistics like that, though? Only 150,000 or so of those gamers bought quality stuff like Stardock's GalCiv 2. We lament the failure of games like Psychonauts, but for every Psychonauts, I think there's probably 5+ more quality PC games that don't sell as well as they should. (Gal Civ 2 isn't an example of that, because it's considered a commercial success, but you know what I mean.)

Pretty much. Regardless of how Halo 3 ends up turning out as a game, we all know it'll be a huge commercial success. Nobody wants to compete with that. UT3, however, is a legit timed exclusive, IMO. Epic tends to shoot pretty straight, so I'll take their word for it that the open source-ness of PS3 and the mods made it easier.

Worldwide, at the end of this gen, I'm predicting:

1st: Wii

2nd: PS3

3rd: 360

The PS3 and 360 will be really, really close, and the Wii will have a small edge over both.

This will probably be the closest gen in sales, ever.

(And this coming from a PC/360 gamer...)

I just wasn't excited like I thought I would be. It seemed pretty neat, not amazing, but neat up until the ambush. I know the straight up fighting isn't what the game is about, but man, they just came at him one at a time. So, you can't be interrupted while doing those counterattacks? Bleh. I'll probably still get it, but it isn't this amazing end-all game to me anymore.
