"Exclusives don't happen that often any more". Huh? Nintendo first party exclusives and Sony First Party exclusives come out at a fairly regular pace actually. MS are a little behind that curve, but they have their first party exclusives as well.

I'm not a fan of multi-platform franchises suddenly becoming exclusive, but MS or Sony commissioning a new game from a 3rd party developer (like Sunset Overdrive) is fine.

And yes, "console exclusive" needs to be a new term to describe those games that are also appearing on PC. It's a marketing phrase like any other that is indeed useful to any company who uses it. It's a selling point like any other, and I see nothing wrong with the phrase as it's perfectly descriptive to all but the really slow.

PC doesn't count. and the 10,000 units SF4 sold on PC shows that.

SFV is a PS4 exclusive and they made it clear that it will never see a different console.

By the sounds of things, Capcom needed some help creating SFV and SONY stepped up to help fund and develop the game. Microsoft didn't answer the call and its looking like it bit them in the @$$

SFV exclusivity is about as important as if Pong were "exclusive" on X1..

Well the only ones who call it a straight up "Exclusive" are moronic journalists looking for hits. The official announcement states it's a "Console Exclusive" meaning this is the only CONSOLE you can get it on. PC is a platform for sure but it's also a whole other beast that is pretty much unaffected by the competition of gaming platforms. So it's not messing with the term at all, it's simply saying it's a "Console Exclusive"

SF5 says otherwise. And no, PC dosent count. Besides, who in the hell plays a fighting game on pc???

@trouble_bubble, Forza Horizon 2 for the 360 was made by a different studio than the Xbox One version. So it definitely didn't get the love and care the other one received. LBP3 is more of a niche title. It's cute, adorable, and fun before the newness wears off. Who buys a console for LBP? Sony supports their last gen consoles better than anybody else, so it makes sense for that game on the PS3. And lastly, please, don't bring up Assasins Creed part 1,000. If there is a franchise that's hand to hand milked as much as COD, it's the Creed series. Ubisoft would release it on the orginal Gameboy if it were not for the suckers who keep buying it on so many current consoles. Again, does last gen really matter?

exclusive is not dead at nintendo for sure. There have been many recent nintendo games that were wii u or 3ds only.

Just thought about something regarding DLC costumes. We know that when Street Fighter x Tekken and SFIV were released on PC that modders were able to create their own costumes. Would this still be allowed with cross platform play? Meaning created costumes on PC would show up when playing against a PS4 player? I'm kind of leaning towards Capcom cracking down on that feature if they plan on releasing paid DLC costumes and the fact that it may disrupt the cross platform play feature if the PS4 doesn't support user created PC costumes. Thoughts?

its exclusive because pc doesnt count. most people when buying a machine to play video games dont even entertain the thought of buying a gaming pc

"The word "console-exclusive" just sounds convenient.. for advertising and marketing purposes. . oh and for "console war" purposes"

And to the 100's of millions of people, like myself, that ONLY PLAY GAMES ON CONSOLES...PC's to me, are for making games for my consoles & for doing other boring $hit on....therefore, pc's don't count, to anyone other than 300pound nerds, with coke bottle bottomed glasses, splotchy zit faces, bucked teeth, hunched backs & hush puppy shoes, with comb over looking hairdo's, that sit around in grannies basement, playing W.O.W. for 23hrs a day, choosing what they'll have for order in McDonald's for the other 58mins & beating off to a digital version of Lara Croft for the 2mins remaining in a 24hr day. And, if there not playing WOW, then they are probably being there usual PC-elitist, d1ck selves on forums all over the internet.
Everyone knows REAL MEN PLAY CONSOLES, WHILE GIRLY MEN NERDS PLAY PC's, AFTER GETTING THERE DAILY MANICURES....LOL
