Why do I need a Xbox 360?
Garret02:
Oh, MMOs, no wonder I didn't notice. I hate MMOs. And we are talking about last 6 years.
TMRNetShark:
The PC mainly had great RTS and MMO exclusives. Not only that, but games that were multiplatform were better on PC because of mods. One particular example was Fallout and Oblivion. Only downside to PC games was that some, if not most, were influenced by console designs. RAGE is a particular example among the many PC games that suffered from this. As for getting an Xbox, not worth it at this stage, seeing as how multiplatform games require multiple discs for the Xbox now (RAGE, LA Noire, BF3). The only advantage Xbox has is a bigger community for Call of Duty than the PS3. I own the PS3 and gaming PC combo and I'm liking the games that will soo to be coming out (I'm getting MW3 for PS3 because that game only seems natural on the consoles). BF3 and Skyrim will be better on PC for obvious reasons.

https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pc5oLqpenpT78W87pMfgvBA 11/15/05 to current, orange ones are exclusives. This is FAR from a comprehensive list of PC releases. Smaller indy titles are missing in many many cases. Then you have games in genres like eroge that don't really feature on gamespot, or JP/KR only releases.

Hoo, I thought half of those games are older than 6 years. My memory is really bad. I would argue about being good games for about 95% of this list (and including your indy games) but that's more up to personal prefe... THEY MADE VICTORIA II?! Why I know nothing about this?! F**k, I need to get this game ASAP. I just hope they didn't fuck it up, like HoI III and EU III.

Basically, there are no good exclusives for the 360. They all went multi-platform after a while, the PS3 has better exclusives. PC has most and best of exclusives.
ToV was released September 17, 2009 for PS3 with a better version than the 360 one. So that doesn't count as an exclusive, pretty fun game, never did finish it though. :p

^ What he said. If your okay with wasting 200-300+ dollars on a whole new system and dump extra money on their games, go ahead and do that. If you have a good PC or needs a graphic card upgrade (they're cheap and better than the 360 and PS3) then upgrade that, I'd rather not waste a dime on a 360 - I was going to purchase it a few times just for those nice games, then I saw they were coming to the PS3 or/and on PC. Meh ... not worth it.
PS3 has the upper hands when it comes to console exclusives.
