PC, PS3, Xbox 360
Including PC as an original platform is incorrect. Burnout Paradise launched first on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360; the PC version arrived later in 2009 as The Ultimate Box.
Full reasoning
The platform list for Burnout Paradise is overstated.
Contemporary coverage of the game's original launch described Burnout Paradise as coming to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 for its initial 2008 release. Then, in January 2009, Electronic Arts announced Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box and explicitly said it "marks the debut of the game on PC."
So PC was not one of the original platforms for the 2008 release of Burnout Paradise; it was added later with the 2009 PC debut.

GameSpot's contemporaneous preview said, 'Burnout Paradise will arrive on the Xbox 360 and PS3 “this winter,”' describing the original launch platforms without PC.
There are currently 325 games in this list.
The count is outdated. The current table on the page contains 359 game entries, not 325.
Full reasoning
The page’s own table contradicts this number.
In the current rendered article, the game list starts at line 218 with The Oregon Trail and ends at line 576 with Baldur's Gate 3. That is 359 table rows of game entries (576 − 218 + 1 = 359). So the statement that there are 325 games is no longer accurate.
This appears to be a stale total that was not updated after additional games were added to the list.
