Microsoft's revolving definition of 'exclusive'

The good news is that they won't be using the term very often. The larger the gap between them and the competition, the more money they will have to fork over to publishers for even timed exclusives.

That isn't necessarily how it works.

When companies buy an exclusive they're buying the risks. Not just potential sales.

Also, both Sony and MS get exclusives when they're willing to fund the development of a game. Hence, funding the risk.

The only way Sony could have got Sunset Overdrive or Quantum Break is if they funded them or if a 3rd party bought it to PS4. The PS4's larger userbase wouldn't have single handedly acquired them.

I agree with this
