Unless you don't consider digital distribution of content actual games. If that is so, the PSP Go then has NO games for it. Like, suddenly, we shouldn't count Miner: Dig Deep as a game on the 360 and an exclusive? Miner: Dig Deep is one of the best games released this generation. It is a small and inexpensive title, but I would count it as one of the top 20 games I played this generation. I think I paid less than $5 for it also. It is in the Indies game section, so it isn't well known.
Look at this:

[With almost 1000 titles now available on Xbox Live Indie Games, what kind of games are breaking through from a quality - or quirkiness - point of view on the service? We look at ten of the best new titles on the Xbox 360's hobbyist/indie-contributed game service, from Mamotte Knight through Zombie Estate and beyond.]
That is pushing 1000 there.
XBox Live Game Room is going to push around 1000 titles, rereleases of retro games to, which are currently exclusive just to the XBox for the most part:
And then you have over 300 games over XBox Live Arcade:

People can sort out how many are exclusive to the 360 there.
But hey, why even mention these? It is best not to, if you want to somehow say the PS3 blows away the 360 on exclusive content, because the PS3, if you factor in digital distribution, is dwarfed by the Wii and 360. And forget the PC here to. If all that matters is sheer quantity of titles, good or bad, then go for the PC, because it has a monster number of free games you can get playing over the web.
Reality? You look over a platform and see if it has sufficient content that you want to play. Having content exclusive to it, is a draw to get it over somewhere else. But, let's say a given platform is able to play most games that appear on every single other platform, and really none on its own. Would it be worth getting? Well, it doesn't matter if the content is exclusive or not, if it is all in one spot, it is a compelling reason to get.
Exclusive content becomes key when the exclusiveness is in the area of something being a killer app. That then is when it is very important. Gran Turismo 5, Halo, and also Wii Fit would fit into this category.
