Xbox exclusives are better than playstation exclusive games confirmed, so everyone buy an Xbox our fate in Sony has been compromised? (Before people start whining the conclusion is troll, though the metafacts are true)

I'm truly hoping once this Holiday season goes by with still zero exclusive reasons to own a PS4 people are going to finally wake up and stop buying them off of the hype alone. But then again, people love to be sheep so that probably won't happen.

Not everyone buys a console based solely on its current exclusive line up (though both the PS4 and X1's are perfectly acceptable for consoles in their 1st year). That's somewhat irreverent though, most people buy consoles for 3rd party titles. As long as people continue to see the PS4 as a preferable place to play multi-plats, it will continue to sell well.

Exclusives are important for attracting the inner core market, and major titles like Halo and Uncharted can help pull in the outer core market, but past that exclusives aren't hugely important to most. They make up a tiny fraction of the list of titles released each year.
