Agree, yet also disagree. It sucks that the pursuit of exclusivity locks out some consumers to the benefit of the manufacturer that can prop up their console line-up with a laundry list of exclusive titles, but at the same time it is also a big factor in allowing exclusives to be written in a fashion that capitalizes on the strengths of the target platform, making those games even better than if they were written to the least common denominator and released multi-plat.
It's the nature of the beast, and the practice won't end any time soon. You take the bad with the good.
