Yes you are right they basically get multiple coverages get also get mentioned in ms/sony conference and in their respective conferences as well. Since they have some type of exclusivity to console they will get coverage from console manufacture so its like multiple times marketing. So its a win win situation for publisher. They are losing sale from one platform but at that cost they get more marketing and lot of money. So that is the reason why most big triple-A games have these exclusive deals.
Remember that you predicted sunset will be the best rated xbox exclusive it is best for many so prediction is correct for millions of people and if we ignore halo mcc it is best rated as well since titanfall is ms exclusive not xbox exclusive.

its a win/win for both the third party publisher and MS/Sony. look at Destiny and AC Unity as examples, they boosted massive hardware numbers and sold a lot of units. Both MS and Sony benefited from them greatly as well as Ubi and Acti. another thing that i keep saying that people just dont listen to that its not just about the boost of the hardware when the game launches, its about mind share. and it has taken its effect very greatly this gen and the one before.
when you have the PS or xbox logo after each trailer or gameplay video, thats gonna build mind share for the consumer. last gen MS and Sony fought for exclusive marketing rights for third party games, nintendo didnt. the consumer mind share slowly build up to a point that the fans of all those third party games are either gonna think about PS or Xbox for their next console, and thats what happened and will continue to happen.
as i said, its a big win-win for both parties, thats why every third party game has these exclusive marketing deals.

Yes people have started to have a mind set for games like COD has been associated with xbox and how games like destiny are associated to ps4. In this case nintendo has not done anything which imo is not right and sales also say the same. And sony is much better in marketing these exclusive deals compared to ms which gives sony a bit lead in third party exclusive marketing deals.
