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

So why would Don't starve be exclusive to Nintendo? It is on PS3, ps4, Xbox one, Wi U, Vita, AND PC. It is literally on EVERY platform. That is the exact opposite of a exclusive.
Infact it isn't even ON the Ouya.
Did you mean a different game?

Re-read what I wrote and then read your statement "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." Don't Starve is a good example of one crap platform being excluded which by your definition would alow you to say that of the 10 platforms you listed all can claim the title Don't Starve as an exclusive because one platform is excluded. Now do you see where your modified definition breaks down? Exclusive means there is only one place to get, watch, read, or play something.
