They do that because some gamers are dumb enough to care about "exclusive content" that sometimes is just a diferent outfit or other minor thing. The core game won't be affected.
And about exclusivity I agree with majority thinks here. If it is a game that wouldn´t exist without the moneyhat or even in some cases the company outsource an idea of a new ip (like 2nd partie) them it's a great pratice. If it's just used to take away from other plataform is ridiculous and most times waste. If a game that were exclusive becomes multi then incompetence from one side and great for gamers of other platform. Now when a game were exclusive to one platform and then the sequel become exclusive to another platform is disgusting and if it's in the same generation it become outrageous.
