PC is largely in the same boat though.

Warhammer II
Civ VI Strategy
Hearts of Iron IV
Endless Legend
Endless Space II
Galactic Civilizations III
Age of Wonders III

All of them a single genre to boot. So if you don't happen to be a  massive fan of strategy games, PC won't offer much in way of modern exclusives. 

And you forgot about Tearaway, Yakuza 0, DQ Builders, Disgaea 5, Moss, Hatsune Miku, etc on the PS4 side. Spiderman, LoU2 are coming. Yakuza remakes are such a massive leap over the original games that you shouldn't count them as remakes at all. Everything from the graphics to the gameplay was 100% overhauled for Kiwami and Kiwami 2. 

And finally, P5 is still somewhat exclusive, to a degree. XB1 fans certainly can't play it. Those with weak PCs can't play it. 

Why are you including PC, in a topic that's talking specifically about PS4 and X1?.

You also missed out upcoming exclusives like Mech Warrior 5: Mercenaries, Battletech, Anno 1800, Dauntless, Quake Champions, Underworld Ascendant, Griftlands, Long gone days, Hunt Showdown etc.

 

The games I listed aren't all from a single genre either.

Black Mesa (fan made Half-Life remake, full game is sold on Steam),
Star Citizen,
Artifact (Valve's new game, though a mobile port will come next year),
Witchfire (no console version announced),
Dauntless,
Wild West Online,
Unreal Tournament,
Escape from Tarkov,
Ascent: Infinite Realm,
Ion Maiden,
Dual Universe (built on the Unigine engine),
Phoenix Point,
Phantom Brigade,
GTFO,
Mavericks: Proving Grounds

This isn't even touching on PC VR titles, like VRChat.
I am missing plenty of really good games, outside of VR too.
There are loads of games: good games, on PC.
People here may never hear about them: we all live in our own bubbles.

Ideally all games would come to all systems.
Artificial exclusivity isn't something we should be supporting as consumers.
Obviously God of War 4 cannot physically run on the Switch without harming the developer's artistic vision, but it can run on the XOne.
Another case would be Star Citizen: even if you could get that to run on a PS4, the end result wouldn't be something worth selling to a consumer.

Hopefully all the games I have listed, do make their way to each and every system that can comfortably run them.

Edit: also relating to the quantity of quality of games (going by meta).
Games have longer development cycles now, and are generally more complex (or just have more assets in them).
