I see what you are saying though, but there are also similar things on other platforms too, if you take the sales number of the consoles into consideration. |
Like someone else said though, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you go Multiplat, then people lose reason to buy a specific console. When that happens, then the consoles even out, meaning the skew becomes more even, making more exclusives go multiplat. Had these titles stayed exclusive, they would likely have made very similar sales, with increased boost from exclusivity hype, sold more consoles, and cost less to make (due to porting)...and in some cases have better quality assets from not having to make smaller.
