Not even EA PR in full flight was trying to spin that as an "exclusive". The best they could say was that their marketing claims that Mass Effect was an "exclusive" were true...at the time it was initally released.
Because when it's available on more than one platform, it is no longer "exclusive". That's the common meaning of the word in the english language. And *nobody* in the game industry suggests that a title on a console and PC meets the definition of "exclusive". |
Steel Wind, come on, man. You are not the voice of the entire gaming industry. In the sense that "exclusive" means exclusive to Microsoft platforms, the word works fine. Or one prefers, it can be called a console exclusive, which it should, as a PC is an entirely different animal from a console.
To reiterate, the rationale that PS3 outnumbers 360's exclusives because 360 titles get ported to the PC--and vice versa--is of dubious merit, because the Xbox's foothold into PC gaming is a strength of the 360, not a weakness.
And yet another word from our sponsors
