Where are the folks that had issues with xbox lack of exclusives? How do they conveniently avoid the thread(s) pro xbox?
Do you mean here on Union? I don't imagine there are many here. It's a pro-Xbox forum. The few people who do have an issue with it are probably PS-leaning people who generally avoid the pro-Xbox threads, because they just aren't interested in the discussion in the first place. And the ones who do often get the defense force type responses, so they learn over time not to bother. So you're getting a pretty tilted view, if you're just looking at this forum.
If you are asking in general, then there have been lots of people voicing concern and criticism for at least the last couple of years, at other forums (e.g., GAF). I find it weird that people are surprised to hear about this. They act as if it is something that has just come up recently. It's been amplified recently, but it's been a topic of discussion for several years.
