Exclusives are the reason people choose consoles, if a console has multiplatform game along with exclusives, people will prefer that console as it's better value and has more diversity (which is why the ps4 is selling so much)

I just looked at the top 30 exclusives on the ps4. Outside of remasters, uncharted 4 was the only one in the top 30. It seems most people don't even care for ps4 exclusives outside of forums.

Wrong. PS4 has tens of exclusive games not selling as much as the big multiplatforms, but each of them sells pretty well and attracts a certain type of gamer. You don't need to be in the Top 30 to sell well. JRPGs or VNs don't sell as much as FPS, but have quite a lot of fans, and anyone wanting to play JRPGs and VNs needs to buy a PS4 (or Vita). It works with other games as well, Japanese third party games and Sony games most of all. Not best sellers, but must buy for part of the players. 

It's one of the reason Playstation beats Xbox and why some players absolutely can't buy an Xbox over a Playstation. I personally can't buy an Xbox because I know these Japanese games won't be on the console, and even if these games are not Call of Duty popular, they are the games I buy and play the most.
