Besides optimization to a platform, why care about exclusivity?

Because each console maker has a certain belief about how to further the industry and have their own views on how to do it.  As a gamer, you may agree with one more than any other.  Hence, you may want them to be the most successful.  That's where exclusives come in.  For me, that's Sony.

Thred right here people

 

I would also like to add that a multiplat is waisitng resources on porting to another console. That money could have been spend in adding extra content to the game. I think nearly every game being multiplat is a huge reason why the single player campaigns are so short compared to previous gens.
