Not necessarily, if they are near in price and power the exclusives won't be a big barrier. look at the sales of the multiplats versus exclusives (outside of Nintendo of course) and before this gen you would see that usually multiplat was what mattered.

And sure I'm not talking about winning the race, but they can reach 30M with just multiplats (if they don't miss any significant) if price and performance are good.

I have to disagree there. If Google's console is in the same ballpark of the PS5/X2 in terms of power and price, and features the same multiplats, then consumers will choose based on brand and exclusivities. And in that scenario, Sony and MSoft have a clear advantage over them.

Unless they are dumb they will sell for cheaper at similar performance.

Because even if they have a lot of exclusives they are creating, they don't have recognition so "no one" would chose their exclusives.
