In most cases Sony had no deal whatsoever with these games, they were only exclusive because the publisher didn't think it'd be worth porting to other platforms, then if it does well and they get some cash in hand they can port it. In any case it has happened with a VERY tiny fraction of games that did manage to blow up and sell surprisingly well.
Sony has rarely made exclusivity deals with 3rd parties, they used to just get a lot of 3rd party exclusives by the virtue of other consoles just not having a big enough installbase for a lot publishers to bother with, last gen when 360 took off we saw the vast majority of games become multiplats, then when PS4 decimated XB1 earlier this gen almost all Japanese games started skipping XB1, now some that do well are starting to make their way to over but most still don't bother.

Yes that was important to say and thanks for saving my time saying it =]

Some of those games were revealed as first on PS4 or not even mentioned exclusivity. If I go and pick their box I doubt any of those had any "exclusive on playstation" in any of them.

This thread is basically pointless.
