That goes around in a bit of a circle though. True, without exclusive titles, there would no point in having two competing consoles that are otherwise very nearly the same machine. But if exclusive titles only exist at the whims of those companies pushing the consoles, then the PS4/Xbone divide is one kept alive only bt PS4 and Xbone themselves, and its not for the consumer's benefit.

If there was only one console format that nobody owned and anybody could manufactor consoles for, this would only be more benificial to consumers, ie. everybody has access to every game. No Sony gamers, no Microsoft gamers. Just gamers.

True that exclusives are needed to perpetuate the format divide, but that's not to say that the format divide is worth perpetuating in the first place.

100% agree at the bolded.
