Top 25s (IGN)

IGN has published another round of top 25 games for each console (X360 & PS3).   While very subjective, these types of lists try to show the exclusive elements of each system.  But how exclusive are these games really?  I've tallied up the titles that are also available on the PC.

X360 - 16 of 25 available for the PC, where the top 3 were for the PC.  The pattern is this, X360 exclusive often become a PC game a few months latter.  Red Dead, I'm looking at you.

PS3 - 8 of 25 available for the PC.  In true Sony form, we see heavy emphasis on exclusives.  Can't say this is really good for the industry, as none of the games listed take advantage of what the PS3 has to offer.  Additionally, this doesn't account for good games, that simply were not available for PS3. For example, a "breakout" game was listed for PS3...seriously?

A PC list was also made by IGN.
