I'd like to see an Xbox 360 version of BTTF please! Thank You!
I have the mac version of BTTF and it's brilliant, however I like gaming on the xbox also, as I am sure many other people do!

Xbox exclusive games and PS3 exclusive games aren't really relevant to this discussion are they? I thought the only reason that happens, is because the companies developing them have been tied up in big-money exclusivity contracts. It helps the mothership sell consoles.

Surely a company like Telltale, who have no prejudices either way (as far as I am aware) would want to sell as many copies of their games as possible, to anybody.
With the success of Walking Dead across all platforms and the fact that there are already releases of Wallace and Gromit on xbox as well as two of the Sam and Max games, I can only imagine that the reason why xbox versions were not always developed in the past, came down to the cost and time of developing across multiple platforms and perhaps publishing rights and mechanics in so many different regions.

Hopefully, the way Walking Dead was distributed across every platform possible shows the way for future Telltale releases. As for the old ones, the discussion of "Will Telltale look at releasing their older games on xbox" sounds so much like the never-ending discussion as to whether LucasArts will ever release an xbox version of the old CoMI. The answer to that is always "Hopefully, but who really knows".

The question here is essentially the same but with different wording and a different game at it's heart, but the answer is still the answer.
