Exactly, and with Sony now allowing some of their biggest PS4 games to be playable on PC with PSNow I imagine its only a matter of time before they will allow their games to be played native and such things as full-on exclusives will be gone. It is about time gaming came out of the dark ages of such anti-consumer practices.

Sony's exclusives are only as good as they are, because they are made to sell consoles. Same goes for Nintendo. If you want to know how quality drops once a console maker stops making games exclusive just look at Microsoft. Gears 5 is MTX ridden. Forza is the Madden of racing games. The last Halo didn't even have Master Chief in it, and it also had MTX in multiplayer. 

4K/30 on the Pro is tantamount to 1440/60 on a PC, so IMO all Sony really needs to do is give people the option of lowering the resolution to up the FPS. Hopefully that's a feature on PS5 where you can choose between 4K/60 and 8K/30. And if that kind of resolution/frames isn't possible on PS5, then they can release a Pro model in 2023 that can handle it. 

Personally, I'd love for Sony to just produce a $100 "Playstation Player" disc tray that allowed you to play your PS games on PC. That way you could have physical games, and the ability to run them how you want, without any oppressive PC style DRM attached. It really would be the best of both worlds. 

P.S. Your views on exclusives being anti-consumer are in the extreme minority. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=239874&page=1

Microsoft's first party output this gen was stumbling way before they made the decision to put their games on PC, so no that's not the reason they dropped in quality. Hell, that idea doesn't even make sense. If developing a game for PC at the same time as console meant it dropped in quality then 99% of multiplatform games would not be good according to that logic since they all have PC versions as well. 

Forza is the "Madden of racing games"? If you're trying to say this in the sense of how it releases almost every year then alright sure (though Microsoft is willing to at least give it time off like they did this year, no new forza game), but quality wise not even close. Forza is actually the only franchise Microsoft has consistently managed to get right this gen, with the last 2 Horizon games receiving 90+ on metacritic each. These games are on PC too so that only contradicts your previous point more.
