Are exclusives anti-consumer?

First party exclusives are fine. It would not make sense any other way. Third party exclusives? Those suck. Especially if it wasn't a developer decision, and instead the publisher got money to make it an exclusive.

Developer decision? 

Publishers foot the bill for the developers. So the developers don't really have a say in the matter. And those that do have say choose which publishers they ae goig to work with.

There are small developers out there that only work on one platform. They are too small to port to all the different consoles.
