While several definitions say "one" none have stated that it CAN'T be across multiple groups. As long is someone is excluded, something is exclusive.
Leading back to the question - WHAT IS THE POINT? Do you actually enter this thread and go "but but that is on PC" and actually find yourself confused?
It is made very clear by the thread title and the list what the context is. Leading to the point why derail a thread if the context and the point is clear?

Since when are "one" and "multiple" interchangeable?
So by your definition Don't Starve would be exclusive to Nintendo because it isn't on the Ouya and that system is therefore excluded making it a Nintendo exclusive when it can in fact be played on all major platforms .... no just no. Exclusive means there is only one place to play it. The closest I could come to stretching the definition of exclusive would be if something was cross-buy on PS4/Vita but was not present on any other platform.
From the OP: "I've probably missed some. We're just 3 months into 2017, and it doesn't seem like the train of awesome exclusives is going to stop anytime soon." by that context they seem to state the above list is also "exclusives" and if that was their intent then they are misleading the reader intentionally or otherwise. The second sentence is it's own thought so perhaps he didn't intend for the list to be exclusives and just making a list of good games on the platform. I can't say for sure what he was thinking but I find the wording in the OP to leave a little something to be desired. I can also understand it being derailed when people play fast and loose with the definition of a word
