You'd have to be pretty dumb to buy a Xbox without picking up Gears and Halo, especially an Xbox One that has very little else going for it right now.  That's like picking up a Wii U and only buying Barbie Dreamhouse and Jeopardy and not having a single Mario game.

There's people who only buy a console to play multiplat games with their friends. I wouldn't call them dumb just because they don't buy Gears or Halo..well unless their friends play PS4. There is other reasons to buy X1 than just those two games, even console exclusivity is a thing since not everyone wants to play on PC. Majority of console owners are casuals who buy only few games a year, so a huge amount of exclusives isn't necessarily a deciding factor when choosing a console.

Yeah I would argue the biggest reason for picking a certain console is actually what your friends play on (not always the case, but it tends to be true more often than not). 

Ironically, I rarely play the exclusive games on the Xbox One, even though I have a good few of them. Instead, I've been playing Destiny like crazy since that's what most of my friends like to play.
