Primary decision in buying a console is 3rd party, fact.
Secondary is exclusives, so PS and XB both tick the first decision. But then you turn to the secondary decision to decide which one is best. The majority choose PS.
But other factors included brand power, MS with Xbox do not have it. If PS4 had no exclusives it would still be selling more imo.

Interesting input. So the secendary decision in buying an XB1 worsens because of the sharing of exclusives with PC. Or what?

Perhaps, not sure. But also forgot about specs, as a predominate multi plat buyer, i wouldn't buy the weaker. That wouldn't make sense.
