I think you're basing this from what you've been seeing this generation. That's fine and all, but the video game industry spans back over 30 years, and according to 30+ years of historical data, exclusives sell systems. This is also the case with other mediums such as VHS vs Betamax and etc. The content was on VHS, so it sold better.

As for console gaming, there's a significant shift in console gaming sales. The console market is shrinking, while the PC gaming market is growing (and very rapidly). I don't believe that the PS4 sold because it was the console people wanted. I think people felt that perhaps there was no other console solution to go to other than the PS4. As the months went by, gamers started to realize that their games weren't running in the fidelity they were promised and began migrating over to the PC. 

That's why your information is so illogical! You're basing the sales in 2014 on what happened in the 80's! You need to update your logic.
