Cows know the PS3 library cannot compete directly with the 360's so they twist the rules to discard a subset of the 360's library to put it on a more equal footing.
The rule is that this is 'System Wars' and all systems are in direct competition. This may be the official title of the forum but to a vast percentage of people here (and gamers in the real world) the only 'war' going on is between the PS3 and the 360. So, what you end up with is a lot of purely PS3 vs 360 threads. While the thread is quite clearly marked as such and even though the PC is not part of the comparison (they'd be upset if PC fans came into the thread posting pics of Crysis etc. and ruiining the show)
PS3 fans will use the PC at this point to exclude 360 games because they're not 'Exclusive' and there can't be such a thing as 'Console Exclusive' purely because of the word 'Exclusive' being used, i.e belonging to only one. Everyone gets hung up on the phrase and yes, the phrase 'console exclusive' is a bit of a contradiction in itself BUT does represent a very important concept (hence why journalists and um 'real people' outside of this forum use it, for want of a better expression really) These 'console exclusives' (which we're not going to call 'console exclusives' because people get upset) are possibly the most important factor (aswell as price) in most gamers decision to side with each console.
To deny the existence of such a concept purely down to semantics of the particular phrase used is just an underhand way to tip the scales unfairly in one direction.
