Exclusives are what truly defines each console and what set them apart from each other. Also a lot of games wouldn't have existed without exclusivity deals. If it wasn't for Demon's Soul, Dark Souls or that genre wouldn't have existed.

So? If those games hadn't existed, other, potentially better games could've existed. What's your point? Just because I understand the reason why exclusives exist doesn't mean it's a great concept for consumers.

As I said before "If this guy hadn't done that thing then, this would've never happened" is a stupid rhetoric that holds no value. That's like saying "if that one caveman hadn't invented fire, nobody else would've. It completely ignores reality and the fact that this is a planet of a few billion people and thousands of companies.

You don't understand exclusives when you're still arguing that it's bad for consumers. Some games would not have existed or have gotten sequels if it wasn't for exclusivity deals. That still holds true today so your fire comparison doesn't make any sense. I mean we are debating about this in a thread about a game that wouldn't have existed without that exclusivity.
