I believe Microsoft has a specific term to describe that, especially for games where PC and 360 players can play against one another (a feature advertised for Halo 3). This means that the games are no longer 360-exclusive, but they do fit into another valid category, whose description would be along the lines of "360 and PC exclusive". Bean23 23:02, 12 July 2007 (UTC) I was thinking about this too - many of the games that were labeled as Xbox 360-only are (or will be) available also on the PC. If you can help me make it more correct by creating this distinction, the I would appreciate it. I think that Hahnchen's changes will lead people to dismiss the resource because it will appear incorrect to them. especially when obvious and big-name games that people will expect to see like Gears of War are excluded. What we have now is information that is organized in a way that is not completely correct and thus people will find this information through other resources. Would it be possible to get the help of expert editors to create a new category named Xbox 360 console exclusive? I would also like to edit it so that people can simply search Xbox 360 exclusives to find this information. The name of the category Xbox 360-only is incorrect though. Please see the definition of video game consoles. The changes were made with the definition that has been in place for all of the -only categories until they were changed to support Hahnchen's agenda of not making these categories about console exclusivity, so my changes were actually correct when originally made. That is why there are a ton of games that are console exclusives but not platform exclusives. In fact, the development environment is performed on the PC. One of the advantages of developing for the Xbox 360 is that it is fairly easy to port games between the PC and the Xbox 360. Many people when looking to compare exclusives between the consoles are interested in seeing these titles that are also on the PC. Unfortunately, I don't have the technical expertise yet to reform the category to have a separate list of exclusives that include PC exclusives. hahnch e n 18:50, 12 July 2007 (UTC) I wanted to improve this category as a resource material. But given the last CFD, I'll probably have to live with it. hahnch e n 18:41, 12 July 2007 (UTC) Personally, I find the entire category to be redundant with Category:Xbox 360 games. However, Category:Xbox 360-only games only states other video game consoles, it is the latter which is wrong. KieferSkunk ( talk) - 18:37, 12 July 2007 (UTC) The parent category Category:Single-platform software means software for one platform only, obviously if its on a console and PC, that's not single platform. hahnch e n 18:32, 12 July 2007 (UTC) Whoa, whoa whoa, ease off on that language there. We'll have games marked for time and console exclusivity next. If it's on PC, it's not a system exclusive. KieferSkunk ( talk) - 18:01, 12 July 2007 (UTC) Fuck console exclusivity, that's bullshit new-marketing talk. I think this template should ONLY be used if a title is completely exclusive to the 360 (not out on ANY other platform, including the PC). Most gamers don't differentiate that strongly between console and PC - both are valid game platforms, and for most people, the Xbox 360 is as different to the PC as it is to the Wii. What do people think of this? Mi re ma r e 17:49, 12 July 2007 (UTC) Sounds confusing to me. The Xbox 360-only category does not mean platform exclusivity ( really used elsewhere more than here).". Sorry, I'm back on the "Xplatform-only games" categories! :) A user is adding Xbox 360 games that were also released on the PC to to Category:Xbox 360-only games with the edit summary: "Added category to show CONSOLE exclusivity.
