I don't see how that would work.

"Next Gen console" with no exclusives will get laughed at.
"Next Gen console" with exclusives = massive riot from everyone that was lied to and bought the xbox one/s.

So unless they do something weird like "no exclusives for two years" THEN include exclusives I have no clue how this will work.

You're still thinking like a forum user. Has that dev just said that? Yes. It doesn't need exclusives for people to either 'want' it to be seen as a next gen console so they can feel good about themselves (I'm sure you can spot some candidates for this) OR for Joe Blogs to just buy it because they think it IS a next gen console. Perception, perception, perception. That's what it's all about, just like when MS tried to fool people into believing the XB1s could play 4K games, and even on GAF I see people actually saying it can.

Fully agree. It's just PR talk and damage control. Sony has half ass mid-cycle upgrade machine on the market, which needs upscale tricks to run 4K and MS will have half ass mid-cycle upgrade machine year later which, despite beeing more powerful, will have to use upscale tricks as well to run 4K. MS spinning it to give perception that Scorpio is something more than it really is.
