I disagree...it does matter. By your logic XBox doesn't have any exclusives anymore...PC and console target groups might overlap to a certain degree but they aren't the same. Therefore it matters.

But XBox dosent have exclusives anymore.I mean, I think Halo 5 is still only available on the XOne and maybe one or another title, but yeah, no more exclusives.Dosent mean that the XOne is not a good product.Exclusivity means that a product is exclusive to either a product or an ecosystem.Console exclusivity is a silly marketing maneuver to make games more desirable and thus, makes the system more desirable.But that term simply butchers the term exclusive.

I mean, look no further than this year E3 MS presentation and the mess that was that the whole "console launch exclusive" and similar terms.Its getting beyond ridiculous.

 

I agree on your last sentence...that was pathetic but it shows that even MS knows exclusives DO matter, that's why they try to deceive people into thinking they actually had many (console) exclusives, not just the 5 or so they actually have.

 

Like I said earlier I don't agree console exclusivity doesn't matter. It matters a lot to tens of millions of gamers who don't game regularly on PC!

It actually does increase desirability of a certain console.
