We aren't throwing our PC's out of the Windows just because we bought a console.

I own a Switch, Xbox One X, Wii U, Xbox 360, Original Xbox, Super Nintendo, Nintendo, Atari 2600, Sega Master System, Playstation, Playstation 2, Playstation 3 and probably a few more I have forgotten.

I still game on PC.

PC also has exclusives, it's not like exclusives somehow only exist on consoles, far from it.

You must have reading comprehension, I never said you should throw away your PC, you missed my point entirely. Read again, I said exclusives sell consoles both to PC gamers and also to console gamers. 

Sure in the ideal world, consoles would not exist and sony and Microsoft and Nintendo would develop only for PC, then everyone could just stick with PC and play all games ever released in the history of gaming. That would be perfect, but that's not the world we live in.

If sony didn't want to sell consoles, then why don't they just quit the console market? Obviously they want to sell the consoles and for that, they need to convince people, hence the exclusives.

You don't need exclusives to sell a system. How can they sell a system? Better online, better/more features, multimedia options, etc. The Xbox One is still selling despite having no exclusives other than Halo 5. PlayStation doesn't need exclusives either. The casuals don't really buy exclusives for these systems. The top selling games are dominated by 3rd party. The only exception to the rule is Nintendo where their 1st party games dominate. So it usually goes like this for Xbox and PS, 3rd party sells the systems first while 1st party takes a backseat. Whereas Nintendo it's the complete opposite.
