I'm talking about exclusives in general. Not just first party exclusives. The vast majority of developers are 3rd party developers. In past generations, 3rd parties would develop games exclusively to one console, whichever was the market leader. Now, nearly every 3rd party developer makes multiplatform games. As evident by the PS3 & 360 very similar library. This generation, the Wii was the only console with a mainly exclusive library. This means that this generation has seen less exclusives than the immediate generations before it.
Also consider the fact that Nintendo intends to change next generation by luring in as many 3rd parties to their system as possible. It is likely that there will be no console with mainly an exclusively library. The only exclusives next generation will be first party. And of course, the amount of first-party developers pale in comparison to number of third-party developers. Thus, next generation, we will be getting even less exclusives.
