See I don't buy this at all. It's like expecting the quality of movies to drop because you can play a DVD on any player.
Competition between game developers (and the basic skill of the developer) drives game quality, not exclusives. 3rd party titles can be just as good as exclusives in quality - Portal 2 being an obvious recent example.
Exclusives exist to attract you to a particular console from an availability perspective. Consoles compete primarily on exclusives not by quality per se but availability. You want your Mario you have to go Nintendo. You want your Halo you have to go MS, etc. The point of exclusives is more for the benefit of the console manufacturer than you.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
