So, unless you wish to contend that your Batcavesque setup is representative of the norm, what good does presenting it really do in terms of contradicting anything I've said?

Kindly accept that most people do have preferences of some kind. Maybe there are some guys who own an Xbox 360 but would rather wait for GoW2 to be ported to PC, but they're a negligible bunch. And they're windmill-tilters to boot, because no PC port for GoW2 is forthcoming--it's exclusive even by your standards. But if there was a port in coming in six more months, the 360 owners are by and large not going to wait, and that's borne out by how badly the PC port of GoW1 sold.

I *think* that GoW1 on PC was supposed to have been really, really buggy at release, and that may have contributed to low sales. Further, I'd suspect that the majority of people who were in the market for that game likely got it on 360, long before it came out on PC.

I've got the 360, PC, PS3, and PSP, and frankly, the only one that gets much use is the 360, and I used to be an avid PC gamer. I've rather grown to like sitting in front of a 50" TV, with full surround sound, instead of in my office in a business chair

Maybe what people are getting hung up is what exclusive means.

Does it mean that a game is only on a single platform? Or does it mean that a game is only available on a single *console*?

There are still lots of games that are on one or the other. But it seems to me that PS3 is losing them faster. Could that be related to lower sales of that console?
