Console exclusive to PS4.

I know what it means, I'm saying that it's fucking stupid as shit. Why do I have to wait for someone to specifically ask if it's on PC to tell them when they asked what it's on?! Why not just say the most descriptive thing? Fuck the term console exclusive.

How about this Its on Sony Console Only & PC
Pc is its own thing. it shouldn't be considered a console.
I'm getting a headache.

Nobody's calling it a Console Exclusive until after someone asks if it's on PC. You yourself earlier just called it a PS4 exclusive! That's what spurred this whole discussion.
PC isn't a console in common vernacular.

I'm with Aaron on "console exclusivity being a stupid concept" because things like Bayonetta 2 can be said to be "console exclusive" if you're only talking about consoles.
"[game] is only on [console] and PC" is how it should be. It's a little condescending to have to make PC-only users inquire as to its availability on the platform after the fact

My mistake then

That's why calling it a "Console Exclusive" excludes PC, further confusing the point of if it is on PC or not.

If it were really console exclusive, that would mean there's no PC version. Do you see how that phrase doesn't actually make any sense? "Console exclusive" literally means it's only on consoles. So it's a stupid term to use in the way that people are using it now. The only reason it exists as a term is because there's advertising and (to a certain degree) sales stigma around the word "exclusive."
No. Console exclusive mean it's exclusive to one console not that it's exclusive to consoles.

So it as a phrase leaves out PC owners, huh?
Would you call the phrase...
Exclusive?

To reiterate my point: Bayonetta 2 is console exclusive

I had to run after starting the discussion, but regardless of anyone's personal feelings on Xbox, which I actually share, competition is good. It forces innovation.
This.

If that were the commonly accepted definition then people wouldn't keep asking if it was on PC.
Why not just say the platforms it is on? It's not an exclusive, why are we trying to force the term exclusive on it? We're playing into Paul's schemes!
Yup

No, that's what we as an industry have decided it means, not what it technically means. It's a confusing and clumsy term. That's my whole argument.
I'm not saying don't say it's on PC. I'm saying the term Console Exclusive is a correct term. If anyone asks I'm going to say PS4 and PC. Bayonetta 2 is a Wii U exclusive.

All you people arguing about semantics and I'm over here enjoying myself playing Captain Toad.
Fucking chill and play some video games.

The term didn't exist until the industry invented it. It means whatever they want it to mean.

Are you sure you didn't watch the SFV teaser? It sounds like it.
The thread didn't seem like a car selling thing.

So who wants to watch the dorito awards tonight?
I think it was more of a love letter to the FGC and as someone who only kinda cares about fighting games the trailer didn't do much for me.
Everyone should just avoid video game forums for a week and just focus on a game you want to play, it will make yourself feel better about yourself.

Why do we need to use the term exclusive when it doesn't apply?
It's fiinnnee...
That would be too easy and not create discussion. Everyone loves discussion.
I'll just go do my own thing and read up later.
I'm not arguing what exclusive means but console exclusive means it's on one console.
I'm in.
But it's not on PC so Wii U exclusive. If I wanted to imply SFV is only on PS4 I'd say it's a PS4 exclusive.
this one http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2bth22_street-fighter-v-teaser-trailer_videogames is there another one?

All this Sony love is making me saltier.
Oh yes, console exclusive is a dumb-ass term because there are 2 plausible interpretations, but we're stuck with it so it can't be helped.

There was another one I believe. It looked like it was actually trying to sell you a car IIRC.

But it's pointless to call it that. It's clumsy as shit and is completely unnecessary. It's not exclusive to a single thing, forcing the term on there with a qualifier serves absolutely no purpose. It literally does nothing but further confuse the point. The term exclusive has completely lost all meaning at this point, it's thrown around as just another buzz word and it's goddamn annoying.
Legitimate question, why not just list the platforms it is available on?

Competition is only good when there is a clear loser, because it forces the losers to approach on what the public wants. Even field leads nowhere.
Check out last gen. A very competitive generation, outside of the Wii, and look what happened. Microsoft sat on an empty lead, and pushed forth some of the most absurdly restrictive paywalls in recent history, and Sony stumbled and fumbled their way to a completely undeserved second place. Yay, competition.

SMT spinoff. Not persona. It doesn't look remotely close to the stuff we've been seeing over 5
edit: everyone in PersonaGAF were talking about it.

I was an Xbox guy myself. I only got a 360 because all my online wrestling friends had one and that's what they all played online games with so I joined in. PS4 might be the way to go this gen but honestly still waiting on something I want to play so no rush.
Marketing. Paul marketing really loves the buzz word exclusive. It makes people want to get the console since it's only on there and don't know anything about pc gaming.

I know what you're saying, and you're partially right, but console exclusive as words with meanings that already existed in that order literally means exclusive to consoles and not on the PC. Let's just drop the damn topic, I'm never gonna get my way anyway. It's already a thing and I sure as hell can't stop it.
