Why do I need a Xbox 360?
Sosseres:
I couldn't find a better list of exclusives. :/
I do know how you can create one though, feel free to guess which platform is which from amount of releases:

Then you just need somebody to create a script to rip all the data and remove all duplicates, showing a list of exclusives for 2011. Then do the same for 2010 and 2009 to get that 2 year window you wanted.
To get an even better list you should also use another listing site, preferably from Eastern Europe, then one from Korea and one from Japan. That way you probably cover ~98% of all serious PC releases.
To get the last 2% you need to start crawling the java/flash based game sites for the missing titles, some of those are very very good but tend to miss out on being on normal lists.

Can you understand that I don't have to like even 5% of those games? Can you understand that in the past few years I liked certain games more than others and those I liked more just happened to be on consoles? It's just personal prefere...
You know what, fuck it. I don't care. Sure, PC exclusives are so much better an there is so much more of them and all of them are freaking diamonds. You're happy now? Now will we please go back on topic? I know I'm started it and I'm very sorry, I lost, it's your win, now go back on topic. OP wants to know about worthy X360 exclusives. Not PS3 not Wii and not PC, just give him X360.

Sosseres:
K, last post for me then. I doubt you have played even 1% of the titles released in this 2 year period. Saying you prefer one platform over another seems a bit odd in that case. You might have preferred the AAA titles of one platform more than those of another, yet those are always the minority of releases that satisfy a decent portion yet is almost never exactly right for a player. If you base your opinion on those titles, then fine.
As for why I like the PC platform the most, it is the only one I play old games on as well as new ones. This year I played a game released July 1, 2003 more than I did all titles released this year combined. I can't think of a single console game I (personally) would want to play more than two times.
As for x-box 360 topic. http://www.gamefaqs.com/search/index.html?platform=1029&game=&contrib=0&genre=0®ion=0&date=2011&developer=&publisher=&dist=0&sort=4&link=0&res=1&title=0&adv=1 Games released this year, check if you want to play any of those. If you do, check if it is multi platform or not. If nothing there is something you want to play, then skip the 360 since the ps3 is better for most other uses such as playing video files.
TorturdChaos:
I never saw the need to get a Xbox at all. I haven't found a game yet released for the 360 exclusively that I want to play that hasn't shown up on the PC fairly quickly (within 6 months). Between the PS3 and my PC I can play the games I want to.
