Yeah it's a good thing for 360 but it doesn't really make it a reason to get a 360. Especially considering the PC version is always better.Lazy_Boy88

Right. But like I made the point earlier, the other consoles don't offer as many PC games in the first place. and most of the PC ports albeit inferior still have very similar scores to their counterpart.

What about:

PC gamers look for a console, find that the top 360 games are shared with the PC. Instead he goes for the PS3/Wii as they have a rather different lineup to his PC.

That is how the arguement goes I believe.

Well, casey got a 360, so I guess not all PC gamers think like that. Besides most PC gamers stay PC gamers. And usually they are hardcore gamers, so getting a Wii wouldn't make sense unless its for their kids.

It is a bad thing for the 360. It would be different if Bioshock, Mass Effect, Halo, and Gears were on the PC first, and then went to the 360. Then it would be like the 360 is gaining something. Instead, these games the 360 is getting first are going to the PC, like the 360 is losing something.

Bottom line, it would be better if the 360 was the only system to play these games on, instead sharing them with the PC only hurts the odds of someone buying the 360 who already has a PC gaming rig. It's not a devasting blow to the 360 or anything, but it's certainly not an advantage to 360 sells.

But say you have a gaming PC and a PS3. So chances are that you wouldnt have decided to get a 360 ANYWAY, so those games are irrelevant. There is a market of gamers believe it or not that do not think, ok I want to play Halo 3. I could either get a 300 dollar console where i can play all of those console games I want and Halo 3, or I can get a 700+ plus PC. Hmm, I'm going to go get a PC because Halo 3 is going to be on PC in 2 years...

You see what I am saying.

Why do you mention shovelware rts titles as a benefit? Supreme commander looks like utter garbage on xbox 3360, with all the other rts coming out on xbox 360. It is like saying that it is a benefit that wii is getting psp, and ps2 games.

Well, if Supcom is shovelware, then it is a damn good bit of shovelware. It was almost AAA here, man. Game quality, not graphics.

[QUOTE="Popadophalis"]motion sensing.caligamer

oo yea i forgot motion sensing which the PS3 already has too

No offense guy but I think you need to read some of the first few posts in this thread. You need to realize how the videogame business works. EvERY company has to improve their previous systems if they want to be compeititve each gen.

What exactly can ANY of the current gen systems add to next gen systems? What a silly question. If they are going to be competitive next gen, I would assume they ALL have to make their new gen systems look worth buying over the previous gen's systems.

All you got were are 2 RTS and farcry (which is on ps3 also). If there is more tell em cause I'm not sure.jangojay

I don't believe the PS3 or Wii has Supreme Commander, Universe at War:Earth Assault, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Gears, Left 4 Dead, CnC3, etc. etc.

Doesn't it make sense that having great PC games on a console would be advantage for the 360, since many of those games the other two console systems do not offer? I don't understand why people make that a bad thing. What you are getting is a chance if you are not a PC gamer or don't want to invest in a PC is a chance to play these games with a home console system, which is especially great if you are not accustomed to/can't afford/or simply are not interested in PC gaming.

GTA IV. Not Halo 3, Not Bioshock, Not FF, not SMG. I've seen the videos, read the info and have put in for time off. This game will be the defining game of this gen. Too bad Wii won't get it.

I guess because it shares more exclusives with the 360 than any other console. Off the top of my head, only the Agency is shared with the PC and NOT the 360 on the Ps3 front.thrones

So isn't that an...ADVANTAGE? I mean if you could get PC games that would have otherwise been only on PC but not pay as much or have to upgrade one to play those games...isn't that a good thing? I just don't get why people make it a negative thing that you can play stellar PC games on your 360
