I wouldn't count those bolded as exclusives considering they were available at the same time/soon after on PC.

Yeah, that's true. But if you count PC, a lot games on a lot of systems wouldn't be considered exclusive. My original point being, XBox is not this abomination of a system that it was made out to be.

Jade Empire also came out on PC.

I have to admit, out of all the consoles I've owned the original Xbox was one that didn't get a lot of love. Of course when friends came over we'd play Dead or Alive 3, Halo and Kung Fu Chaos for hours, lol. But overall, in my experience, the system was a bit underwhelming. Had it not been for DoA, Shenmue II, Fatal Frame and Jade Empire I probably would've sold mine off.

We're just gonna have to agree to disagree here, man. I have a different stance on how PC ports should factor into exclusivity than you do, plus I think that the extenuating circumstances surrounding the Sega games on your list are at least deserving of an asterisk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:C ... cast_games).

I'll rephrase my views on the console as thus: there are some good games which have appeared on the Xbox, but I think that their presence on Microsoft's console represents more of a burden than a benefit for gamers.

So you'd rather not have those games at all than have them released on XBox?

Sega Genesis? Low Tier!? Why!? щ(゚Д゚щ)

Not trying to debunk your list or anything, everyone's entitled to their own opinion, I'm just curious as to the reasoning behind this.

Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V = on average, 1-2 seconds lol

(Edit) I can't remember all these alt codes, so I have an emote page on standby.
