Overall it's a good write-up, but the need for expansion will probably take longer than a week or two to hit B-class. Holding at C-Class, Mid-Importance for now.
- The article focuses solely on current-gen consoles, however exclusivity has been around for several years.
- It feels disjointed. A 'history' section is definitely needed here, as there is little background for the topic.
- Down the road the list of [x] platform games links might be better suited as an infobox with exclusives listed per-platform

- Thanks, I will get digging for some cites to cover a history, and non-current gen content. They proved illusive the first time around but I am sure there will be some good ones buried somewhere. As for the list articles, perhaps a group effort at WP:VG might help, I will probably raise that in the future. --Taelus (talk) 00:29, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
