For those asking for a list:

Former PS4 Console Exclusives
-Nier Automata
-Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
-Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy
-No Man's Sky

Series that were Playstation exclusives in previous generations going to other platforms on the remasters or newest releases
-Grandia (Grandia remaster is Switch exclusive)
-Spyro Reignited Trilogy
-Valkyria Chronicles

Former Playstation exclusives going to PC
-Yakuza (also hints of going to Xbox in the future)

You’re padding your list with games that were never exclusives in the first place as they were on PC.

Grandia was never a PS exclusive.

Spyro hasn’t been exclusive since 2001.

Valkyria Chronicles went multiplatform before this gen started. The last VC game that was exclusive and released in the west was in 2010 and the last exclusive on a PS system was in 2011.

Same thing with Yakuza - it went multiplatform before the PS4 got released.

As you can, none of this matters as ultimately the PS console is about the unique and varied first parties and the enormous amount of third parties.

You beat me to it yes Grandia was actually ported from the sega saturn. Games being published  firstly on PS4 are often alongside PC something that  should be a further clue has to how thin any perceived exclusivity is .

We gamers cry exclusivity lost, instead of saying with the rise of the PS4 and it dominance first choice platform selection moved closer toward PS4, now with a competitive Switch we are seeing publishers once again widening their platform selection, this is good for the industry  and won't harm Sony at this point since marketshare still makes them an attractive first choice destination,  now we just  have more choice.
