Hey if we are talking "exclusive" not meaning "exclusive", don't forget the XBox. That poor system has had more "exclusive" games released within a year of their initial release on another system than anything. Well, at least games that were originally supposed to make the system a "must have". Halo 1 (though they took out co-op), MGS2 Substance, Fable, KOTOR, KOTOR 2 (well that one was never meant to be exclusive), and now Jade Empire (which was really VERY highly advertised as "truly exclusive"), and a LOT of them were ported to various other systems with better content. Very few had that problem fixed (KOTOR had a downloadable bonus pack released and Fable had a better version released). It is a very cautious thing to buy an exclusive game for that system unless it is first or second party, and in the case of Halo 1 even that isn't enough...
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
