Pretty soon Sony will not have any exclusives left except for their first party efforts. It's difficult to sell a system that way. |
It has always been very common amongst 3rd party developers, it was the same in the 80s, 90s and now. It was just the PS2 dwarfed the other platforms in terms of install base, so it had priority and some platforms hadn't an interesting enough userbase.
Console exclusives usually make sense if you do something other platforms just aren't capable enough for (too many sacrifices) or if a console developer somehow invests in your project.
