Thats not exactly how economics works there bud.  It is not about exclusives so much as it is funding individual projects or making them in house to offer something that their competition does not have, and since competition drives the industry, exclusives will always be needed to some extent.  That is just business 101.

Imagine platform holders actually having to win over consumers by improving their platform instead of just shitting out exclusive games. The horror. Of course that wouldn't work economically because the platform holders would only make a lot of money and not ALL OF THE MONEY.

Exclusives are the sole thing that makes me buy a console
