Why didnt Sega get the backlash MS does?

I'm not sure what you mean about "backlash".

Are we talking list wars about what consoles have all the best true exclusives and therefore is the bestest console to own if you're a console gamer and that exclusive lists always have holes picked in them because so many games aren't true exclusives?

Or are we talking about Xbox fans getting angry because games they expected to be true exclusives forever wind up on PC so the Xbox fans feel betrayed or that their favourite console has become devalued in some way?

Or is it because MS has obfuscated at best or straight up lied at worst about a few games being Xbox exclusive and "buy Xbox people because this game is only on Xbox" and then the game winds up on PC?

I can understand some sort of backlash on the latter, because PR bullshit should always be criticised because it's the only way for PR bullshit to stop; though it never stops. Bot other than that deserved criticism I don;t see much backlash on MS specifically because it puts a lot of its games on PC. But maybe I'm just not visiting the right websites, or forum arguments.

Good post. 

If Xbox one owners bought the console expecting certain exclusives because they were told this then it is definitely their right as a consumer to voice anger at the change.  

I don't see why them doing so would bother other gamers whom are not upset or it did not impact negatively.  I definitely can't see how Sega compares to the situation.
