@ItachiItachi, True, but if you'd be forced for financial reasons to have just one of ps3/xbox360 but still wanted to play all the big name title you'd be safest with ps3 because everybody ends up having a pc at one point or another so in that sense it's "for free". I for example never owned the original Xbox, but badly wanted Kotor so ended up playing it eventually on the PC, I don't feel I've missed out on a great game, and yet I only owned one last gen console so I cut down on costs there. For those doing a cost calculation like this but still game passionate enough that they want to experience all the big games this is an option. Wii also has this kind of true exclusivity... though I personally have yet to hear of a game I'd feel I missed out I didn't experience because it was a true work of art. Maybe the next fatal frame if it's exclusive? But obviously that's just me, I'm into gaming for the content, but I can totally understand that so many more people are into it for the fun and it's more physical gaming is a big deal there. Respect all around and so happy the game industry is so diverse and yet doing good all around!
