I'm relatively new to system wars.  Is a game that appears on PC and 360 considered an exclusive for 360 when compared to ps3?

because when 2 systems are compared and a game is on one and not the other, how is it not exclusive? (Bioshock)

it seems to me that when a 360 fan talks to a PS3 fan about a game that is also on PC, it should be usable in the argument.  because i am not going to buy a 400$ console AND and expensive gaming rig with DX10 to play halo 3 or shadowrun.

only PS3 fans dont think PC360 games can be counted.

because between PS3 and 360, one of them can play AlanWake or Shadowrun or  TwoWorlds, and the other cant play them....and that wat system wars is most of the time, a battle between 360 and PS3.

Thers no such thing as console exclusive, its just some BS lemmings came up with since half of ther games are on the PC.

Thers either Exclusive or Non- Exclusive


Exclusive means its only playable on 1 specific system, PS3, 360, Wii, PC, Ds, PSP, GBA, GC, etc...

Non Exclusive means its playable on more then 1 specific system. For example Madden 07, is not exclusive.


then thers games like Bioshock wich are on  PC and 360, ofcourse lemmings try to pass them off as exclusive, but ther not. I dont need a 360 to play it so its not exclusive. its shared between 2 systems

So now if only current-gen system have game X and the argument is Wii VS. PS2, can you say "The Wii has game X as an exclusive! Haha, Wii wins!"?

No, but it doesnt make them exclusive....It just makes them into a game that the PS3 doesnt have....Just that.

no, because the 360 has less value if it has less exclusives.  Its not a "killer ap" unless it's completely exclusive.  If someone's depating which is better; PS3 or 360, the more "killer aps" the better, and the 360 will have less "killer aps" if you can also play them on the PC

You console fanboys can go play on your own when you've got a forum called "Console Wars." If you dont like to include the PC into the discussion, stop visitng a forum called "System Wars."

The same game on more than one platform, is called a multiplat. It doesnt matter what the 2nd platform is.

No, but it doesnt make them exclusive....It just makes them into a game that the PS3 doesnt have....Just that. 

Which is equally as important as a complete exclusive when you're only comparing the 360 and the PS3.  The point is, if you can play a game on the 360 that you can't on the PS3, it holds a good bit of weight in a games vs games argument.

It's just a back and forth. The lemmings have to use this shadow of an exclusive called the console one as a way to get their ownage on the cows.

 

But for those of us that are PC gamers first they're just using every reason possible to keep it out of the equation.
