Well I see people throwing in Alan wake as a 360 exclusive next year, sorry but to me it's not, because IT IS on another platform and that is the PC but I wanna ask system wars if a game comes out on 360 as well as PC is it exclusive?
Fanoys vote now! No, it shouldn't, but it depends what you're comparing, eg PS3 vs 360.fenwickhotmail
Nope. If a game can be played on more than one system, is not an exclusive. It doesn't change anything if you are only comparing two systems ; use the right expression "a multiplat that x console(s) doesn't get".

Is it exclusive? No. Is it console exclusive? Yes. As much as some on here try to act like console exclusive games do not matter they are just wrong. When the average person goes into a store to buy a console he will look at price where the 360 wins. He will also look at game library and the 360 wins there also. Console exclusive games help make one game library better then the other. PS3 and the 360 are going against each other more then the other systems since the other 2 go for a different crowd. I am not saying the PC or Wii are bad in anyway but over all it is a different crowd then the PS3 and the 360. The 360 just has far more games then the PS3 and one of the reasons is the console exclusive games.

PC is a console,so then that means theres not such thing as a console exclusive
Technically it isn't, but it's weird to call the game multiplatform one, if it's only on two systems. Prefix "multi-" is hardly associated with two entities, in that case that would be rather "dual platform". Oh, and if the term will be accepted here, remember - I coined it :D!
[QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"]Its not exclusive, but I hate how in SW people act like certain games don't exist if they are multiplat.Animal-Mother
Agreed but I hate it how people use multiplats in exclusive line ups Yea thats daft too. To be honest alot of those lists are pretty pointless as they include a mix of crap and games with no release date so I now tend to avoid them :P Nothing is worse than people arguuing over games they know nothing about!

PS3 installs games but that's still a console.
PC is not a console because a console is a machine designed for consumers to buy and use solely for playing video games.
A PC is not a console because you can do so much more on than consoles. Another reason is that PC isn't controlled by anyone like how the 360 is controlled by Microsoft or Sony to PS3. There is no owner of the PC so any developer can make games on it free of charge.
no its not, why do we alwayas have threads like this? its on more than 1 system that means automatic non exclusive you cant call it a microsoft exclusive eather because PC isnt a microsoft system /thread
[QUOTE="AdrenalinDragon"]No because its on more than one system, but some could argue and call it a "Microsoft" exclusive I guess.shadow_hosi
how? Microsoft doesn't control pc gaming, they dont run it, they dont own it in any way shape or form It only depends on the game, like Halo so it wouldn't always work and I don't use this rule its just what I've seen others refer it to.

how? Microsoft doesn't control pc gaming, they dont run it, they dont own it in any way shape or form Last I checked, Microsoft owns the Windows OS. Even though Microsoft doesn't get any money from PC games, it's still the winner when a game is made on the PC instead of the MAC. Plus it's like calling Zelda TP not an exclusive because it's also on the Wii, doesn't make sense to me :?.

Nope. If a game can be played on more than one system, is not an exclusive. It doesn't change anything if you are only comparing two systems ; use the right expression "a multiplat that x console(s) doesn't get". You could always say: "exclusive FROM PS3" and be correct.

I consider an x360/PC game an exclusive in x360 vs PS3 debates.
It's not playable on PS3, so it's exclusive in my eyes
It still wouldn't be exclusive though. However, if you are directly comparing 2 platforms (ie 360 vs PS3) then they are very important. I'm tired of people hiding behind the PC vs the 360 and the 360 vs the PC.

If you're making a pure 360 vs. PS3 debate in a bubble, then you're probably right. If not however, you can't call them exclusives. I would say this however... any cow who dismisses a game like Mass Effect as just another multiplat, like Madden or COD4, is being a little disingenuous in my mind.
No it isn't exclusive. Although this isn't just limited to the Lems, I seen cows put games like The Agency and DC universe online, as exclusives titles to own the 360.

Yup, in x360 vs PS3 debates, an x360/PC game is exclusive in my eyes. Said game is not playable on PS3, so therefore, it's a plus for the x360.
This constant argument over the meaning of exclusiveness is completely pointless. Having a game on one console and not on another although it's on PC doesn't mean that that game can be completely disregarded in an argument of which library of games was better for a particular year. I voted no because if it's on two platforms it's definately not exclusive however the argument you are trying to support is extremly flawed and is only used by people who can't win an argument any other way than to stretch the truth.
Absolutely! Its a Microsoft exclusive. Windows is a Microsoft product. So unless the game is released on PC for Linux and OSX as well as windows then its a Microsoft exclusive. Sorry fanboys thems the facts.
If its on PC its not and exclusive. As the whether or not PC/X360 games and PC/PS3 games should be used in X360 vs PS3 debates, that all depends on the thread creator. And let me reiterate something I have said time and time again: The point of an exclusive is to have a game that is so iresistable that one is has no choice but to buy that particular gaming system to play it.
If a game is on more than one system (PC/X360 or PC/PS3) its no longer exclusive because one no longer has to buy an X360 or a PS3 to play it. As long as there is an option to play that particular game on another platform, the "exclusive-power" of the game is lost. Sure some people may still buy an X360 or PS3 for that particular game but a person with an awesome PC will be under no obligation to do so.
Ask yourself this: Some people bought an X360 awaiting the arrival of a GTA4. Does that make GTA4 an exclusive? The answer is no. Since GTA4 is available on 3 different systems, one has to conclude that there were other reasons the person bought it on the X360...maybe they liked the controller more or they heard the graphics were better or they always wanted to try out Halo3 so they decided to go for an X360 and kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
