[QUOTE="aaronmullan"]This is System Wars, not Console/Company Wars. Deal with it. PC counts.washd123

it doesnt matter even if it was console wars pc would still count if you talk about exclusives.

calling a game x exclusive means the same as all other systems are excluded, not all other in context.

OK Mr Webster. But you are wrong Exclusive means to exclude, so if just one thing is excluded soemthing can be considered exclusvie. Of course it has other meanings also and one does fit your definition, but to pretend that your definition is the only one is pretty arrogant. We all know what exclusive means here in SW, but don't pretend that it means the same thing to the (marketing departments of) MS, Sony, and Nintendo, because they don't care about the rules of SW.

Conviction, Mass Effect 2, and Alan Wake are multiplat. All are on PC. So that leaves on 2 exclusives there.

[QUOTE="thew13"] I stand by my first post in this topic. Obviously these companies don't go by System Wars rules. Apparently 'console exclusive' actually has a definition out there in the real world not matter how hard SW tries to deny it. drakecool1

In the real world I can buy Splinter cell, Alan Wake and the rest for my PC without owning a 360.

And Microsoft doesn't care - as long as you can't on the Wii or the PS3

[QUOTE="2mrw"]

Speaking on the latest Major Nelson Podcast, Aaron Greenberg confirms Crackdown 2, Alan Wake and more for the first half of 2010.

"Starting in January we have like a AAA exclusive title pretty much every month for the first half of the year such as Mass Effect 2, Splinter Cell:Conviction, Alan Wake and Crackdown 2 , we also know we have Halo:Reach and Fable 3 coming later that year."

Mass Effect is due to hit stores January 26th, with Splinter Cell: Conviction a mere few weeks later, February 23rd. No firm dates for Alan Wake yet, or Crackdown, which is quite the surprise.

from VGchartz.

that guy looks very confident in the scores, Why shouldn't he? Looks like they already paid the money :D.

sorry if old.

maybe crackdown but I can't see how the last game flopped the rest are not xbox 360's they are shared so would'nt coount even if it scored an AAAA

[QUOTE="Ultimaspooges"] I challenge you to build me a Dx11/i7 build rig with a 1080p monitor and windows 7 included. Did I forget to tell you it has to be built in norway or Dubai? Face it, PC gaming only works in America.Vandalvideo
Why Dubai? Are you from India? If anything, I would expect it to be easier to build it in India than elsewhere. Besides, why are you demanding I include a monitor? Don't you already have one with your consoles? Why are you also demanding it be DX11? There are hardly any games out that take advantage of that, and console games are no where near that. You're applying double standards here. Why must it be i7 too?

Becasue I don't have one. I need a computer from scratch never having owned one in teh past. I want to have the full graphical capabilites that you always brag about so the 7 SDTV I have around the house just won't cut it.

[QUOTE="AdobeArtist"]

lol, ok dude whatever makes you feel better.

Everyone knows there has always been a console gfx kings here so "I" don't have to "want" anything I was just stating a fact that has always been accepted. You seem to be upset becaue I stated somethig everybody already knows, why? You are also making alot of slanderous assumptions about me :) that's not nice, it's just a discussion...no need to get personal.

playharderfool

His last sentence is very true though, if you don't believe that then you don't know a lot about cows, I know them, why do you think I hate them?

Well I know you're an xbox360 fan so I expect you to say that and come and defend what you fellow comrad has said regardless on the situation...with that said however,

  • How can I show the hyporacy of cows when I'm not a cow, I'm a gamer sorry to burst you bubble.

  • The hypocracy can be seen more evidently in xbox fans than can be cows this gen because, as I said before, 360 fans weren't crying about "console exlusives when it had a healthy amount of AAAE titles and PS3 had none. jargon 360 fans used to describe it were "bluray player" and "PS3 got NO games" even tho it had plenty of AAE and AE titles.

  • Also last gen xbox fans parised halo, Halo2, Riddick (there was a PC version right? Yeah), NG, DOA3, Splinter Cell:CT (there was a PC version right? Yeah) as Gfx kings on xbox and PS2 fans couldn't say a word in opposition.

  • Fast Forward to 2009 xbox fans want to CHANGE THE RULES and count the total amount of AAA, AA and even A titles to boost the "idea" that xbox360 has a better library of games then PS3 because it had cought the 360 in toal numer of AAAE+ games

  • Uncharted, Killzone 2, and Uncharted 2 All beat out xbox360 for best graphics on a console...now they want to use the PC as a cruch to deny PS3 fans the glory of console gfx king just because the 360 failed to produce better gfx.

  • And now we have xbox fans trying to CHANGE THE RULES again to fit there agenda of makeing mutiplatform games be regared as exclusive games on the xbox360 so they can falsely inflait the number of AAAE titles make people prceive it as the better console and SW ownage.

Now you can just up and down screaming "hypocracy" all you want but xbox fans are the only one's who are trying to CHANGE THE RULES they once swore by when it looked better for their console.

Since when does a consoles library only consist of exclusives?

I wanted to see what you guys thought of this. But is it possible that Sony Corporation (the parent company) used the PlayStation 3 primarily as a means to win the format war for Blu Ray, their propreitary techonology, against HD-DVD? This might explain why Sony Corp puts up with the PlayStation division losing money. They saw the bigger picture of Blu Ray becoming the next generation of medium, and all that goes with that such as royalities. Think about it, when ever blu ray drives become commonplace in computers every computer manufacturer will have to play Sony some money. If Microsoft or Nintendo begin using Blu Ray as a medium for games they'll have to pay Sony a fee to do that. Other companies that make Blu Ray players have to pay sony royalities to do that.

But what do you think SW?

Jamisonia
I thought it was obvious. Do people really still doubt that Blu-ray winning the format was the major motive for Sony in the design of the PS3?

wow that actually raised my eyebrows. Just out of interest, what caused the 360s jump? I cant think of anything that happened for them, and why did MS not reveal their numbers before? ...Indie_Hitman
November caused their jump. They've had similar Nov. numbers for 3 years now
