That's the thinking that lost Sony so much ground in the PS3/360 gen. It's the thinking that put MS so far behind today. 

Bullshit. There are a lot of reasons why Sony lost ground in the PS3/360 gen (f.e. 600 dollar for a console which launched 12 - 16 month after the much better priced 360).

The lack of exclusive titles wasn't one of them: http://gematsu.com/exclusives/ps3

Sony tried forcing Blu-Ray into every home with the PS3. Do you really think there would have been a $600 price tag without it? The reveal of the XB1 was a disaster in part thanks to the focus on T.V., Sports, and T.V. 

I don't have an issue with Zero's thinking that exclusives don't win console wars. I have a problem with him thinking that a focus on small insignificant extra media features will win a console war. Don't get me wrong on that point either though. If somebody made a console that doubled as a holographic projector it would sell like hotcakes, the same as the PS2 did by being a DVD player.
