Online service, Console price, Controller, UI, Console design, friends are playing, ect.  Hell, look how xbox one is selling a lot more because of xbox one s. Certainly wasn't because of exclusives. The only time exclusives will matter again is if streaming becomes a thing and every company has their own streaming service or if a company buys out major third party publishers like EA and Activision. I gurantee you Sony didnt even have to make any exclusives and they will still sell well.

2017 will be a better way to know just what kind of impact the Xbox One S will have for the brand, but Microsoft's timing of price cuts around key moments is one of the main reasons it did so well.

As for the PS4, it would still be beating the X1 without exclusives, yes, but many people buy PlayStation systems for a number of Sony's IPs.

Yeah, the hardcore games and gamers who are in the know. However, the casuals rule the industry and they buy the same third party games over and over like COD,Madden, Ect. Nintendo still haven't receive full third party support and people's xbox one and ps4 already plays ALL the third party games, cheaper systems to play them and to top it off probably plays the games better too and their friends are on it as well already.
