I guess we don't share the same definition of AAA game....To me, SM Odyssey = AAA game, Zelda BOTW = AAA game, Mario Kart 8 DX = AAA game, even Splatoon 2 is an AAA game. Octopath traveler, Mario+Rabbids, Starlink are not AAA games.

For the 2nd point. Which exclusive PS4/XBO have from those companies??, Compared to Switch, almost all of them. PS4 and XBO have games from those companies that Switch doesn't have. When i said that i was trying to say that if Switch didn't receive KH3, RE2, DM5,... the same time as PS4/XBO like it will happen with games like MK 11 or CTR at least it could've been substituted by exclusive games adapted for Switch, but that isn't happening either. So no games at the same time as PS4/XBO, no ports from those games announced for the future like it happened with DQ XI, and no exclusive games that only work on Switch like Mario+Rabbids either (except for Ubisoft in this case, obviously).

So yes, PS5 and XB2 won't have too many exclusives for their own either, but i was comparing Switch to PS4/XBO (in fact, being honest, both are basically the same console having 95% of the same games).

As for your last point. PS4 sold impressively well at launch, in 2014 and 2015 without having any huge 1st party exclusive games, so PS4 proved it can sell without good exclusives. Nintendo can't afford that fot their consoles, that was my point.

@bolded: I was actually asking for a list, as I don't remind many. Also, any game being on PS4 and XBO ain't exclusive, so you can count all those out already.

@italic: MK11 is coming to Switch. And again, it's no exclusive either way. What's CTR btw?

As for your last point, that's pretty normal considering how much Microsoft shot themselves into the foot with their anti-consumerism. But that only could work early on, as Microsoft turned the ship around so hard that it's Sony who is looking increasingly anti-consumer. Cross-play, anyone? Starting their second year, they got some very good exclusives which kept the Xbox from catching up. TLOU Remastered, Driveclub, Little Big Planet 3, Bloodborne, GOW III remastered, Journey, Beyond: Two Souls; that's just a few of the exclusives the PS4 got which helped grow the gap to the exclusive-starved XBO.

I guess i don't explain myself well enough.

From the Switch perspective. RE2, KH3, DMC5 are "exclusive" to PS4/XBO, meaning that those are games i can't play on Switch. Take that more than PS4/XBO exclusive game as a antiexclusive game for Switch (if this makes any sense).

MK11 being on Switch was my point. MK11 is an example of a game that comes to Switch at the same time as PS4/XBO unlike KH3, DMC 5 or RE2 (as examples). CTR, by the way is the great and only Crash Team Racing (but now i doubting if it was announced for Switch, so maybe that wasn't a good example).

From those games, only TLOU Remastered sold huge (huge at the level of the best Switch exclusives i mean). Driveclub, LBP3, Bloodborne, GOW III remastered, Journey, Beyond, ...were no the reasons why PS4 sold so well until Uncharted 4 came (the 1st big exclusive game for PS4).
