It boils down to the reason many of us play on consoles to begin with. It's a convenient dedicated gaming machine for one's living space where they can turn the power on and in minutes be competing with people around the planet, on the sofa next to them, or by themselves. It will have a different entry cost than PCs which we know have the capacity to outperform these machines but not everyone wants that kind of fuss. I know that I will be giving Microsoft some money if some of these games pop up on PC but that doesn't mean I don't give my console any attention either. People buy the Xbox One for the same main reasons they buy a Sony Playstation 4 or a Nintendo Wii U - a convenient, dedicated gaming experience and to make brash generalizations or say this will do any real damage to potential sales of the Xbox One is completely baseless.

So, do you think that Exclusives don't push sales ?, do you really think this ?, so why the Companies still making exclusives ?.
Gran Turismo 5, and Uncharted, pushed PS3, sales and helped to close the gap with Xbox 360, Halo 3, helped to push Xbox 360 sales, was Microsoft's best selling exclusive.
Final Fantasy 7, Helped the PS1, to get a Lead (the game was on PC, but was on the 90s, where PCs, were much more expensive than today, much much more).
Pokemon, is one of the only things that sustain the life of Nintendo's Handheld, Nintendo 3DS, would not even be at 25-30 Millions units sold, if was not because of Pokemon, and Monster Hunter.
Exclusives do matter, and if is on PC, will push less Hardware, and Xbox One, already is behind on Hardware.
