The word exclusive is incredibly overrated. If 1st party exclusives mean so much to what many fans claim then why is the WiiU, the console with the highest reviewed 1st party games the least selling? Because of the 3rd party multiplats. The top 4 selling games on XB1 and PS4 are 3rd party games. Fifa, COD, GTA and many others. You can have a console with 1000s exclusives but if there bad games then it doesn't make a difference. If you supply a good product with access to good multiplats then your product will sell. You don't need 1st party games. There just bonuses.

Why is that the brand, xbox which has the least amount of exclusives every gen hasn't been the market leader ever? Before you reply with this likely rebuttal, nintendo's exclusives canter to a specific portion of gamers and attracts mainly them to the consoles. Anyway, the problem with third party games in general is that they can be bought and played on the competitions' hardware. So what makes a person pick one console over the other?

Exclusives make a console distinctive from the competition and people buy console to play games.

What would happen if the xbox consoles didn't have their exclusives? The consoles would sell worse than they did. 

Just in that other thread about what reasons do people have to buy an xbox one. The main two answers to it were halo and exclusives. Try to downplay the role of exclusives some more, please. 

There is no need to downpaly anything because the proof is right in your face. WiiU has the most exclusives and is the least selling. PS4 has the most 3rd party games and is the highest seller. There is only 1 PS4 exclusve in the top 10 selling games on it. Where are those 10+ million sellers for the PS4 or XB1? Where are those who buy a PS4 buying those 1st party games? Thats right there isnt many. My facts are based off charts, yours arent. Go ahead and look them up, suprise yourself.

The XB1 and PS4 will continue to sell because they have strong 3rd party support and many gamers want a console to game on. Why is the XB1 the 2nd best selling console this gen outselling a console with the best 1st party support?
