Sonys exclusives are the gateway between the west and the east. One of the least friendly places to get jrpg ports these days. Most of my PC friends who love anime have PlayStation and Nintendo for that reason. They find Xbox to be redundant because it makes no bones about the fact the Xbox one is a is a steam box for their PC endeavors. Microsoft is making it so soon you won't need an Xbox if you don't want it. All you have to do is get an elite controller and invest in Windows 10. That's the real goal... what they've always wanted to do.

Doesn't matter if it is East or West. The bulk of games on the Playstation is on PC.
Japanese developers are also taking notice and releasing more of their games on PC these days, so your argument is moot.
I am amazed at how many people are getting defensive over this, this happened last console generation as well you know.
And I agree. The Xbox *is* redundant if you own a PC and you only care about games.
The Playstation you can also live without if you own a PC, but there are more gems that can draw you in, which is ultimately the big difference between Xbox and Playstation.
Regardless. If you are truly a passionate gamer and love games, you will own all the platforms and not be strictly stuck to one, these are multi-billion dollar companies, you don't owe them anything.

Agreed for a good chunk of sonys library, but the chunk of Sonys library that is exclusive is still more exclusive and a selling point compared to Microsoft. There is little to no exclusivity between Xbox and PC now save for Halo. Once Halo is gone, its done. They arent close in that respect. if Nintendo had third party support the narrative that you hold for Sony would it remain true for them as well. The core exclusives for the Japanese brands are not multiplatform. This is where Microsoft becomes the anomaly.
Once your exclusivity is gone so is your indentity. Your console is just an optional vessel for the games that pass through. As I alluded to before, this is what the steam box was going to be. Without exclusives consoles gamers want and an affordable price, it had no chance against the other consoles.
