Exclusives are the single most important reason anyone would pick one console over another. There ARE other reasons but none of them are as important. In fact the present climate and list of PS4 exclusives at the moment demonstrate this perfectly. We know there are many types of gamers who like certain genres, popular or niche, and right now anyone on the market for a console and who like JRPGs will pick the PS4 because it has the most 'exclusives' in that department. We can argue percentages all day but it doesn't negate the obvious. For the XB brand to stand any chance of slowing PS4s lead down, it HAS to have exclusives, and the XB1 fans need to buy them. The problem is XB1 fans are slowly building into their mindset a dislike of certain genres which in turn feeds into them not doing very well on the XB1. XB1 fans are shooting themselves in the foot with this.

Bolded - That is according to "you".

I realize that according to you if someone buys a console you guarantee that person will buys exclusives but that's not true at all. Many many people just buy third party games. Many people buy exclusives games on a console just because to them it's a game available on the console they have, not because they bought that console to play that specific exclusive.

the problem is the Xbox One started out as less powerful than the PS4. The Scorpio is a whole other discussion, we'll see what happens.

But if the competitor has an arguably more streamlined system with the same (or better) specs that has your entire library but ALSO a bunch of exclusives- what advantage would the average consumer have in picking an Xbox?

I don't think its rocket science. The more choice to the consumer the better. and sorry, but playing Call of Duty or Battlefield on the XboxOne or PS4 is virtually the same experience. So the only thing left really ARE exclusive content.

I think its plain as day that this is probably one of the big reasons the PS4 is killing the X-One as well. in the end when you think of "omg I want to get an Xbox for that game" what really pops in mind? Halo? and that's about it
