Whether you feel they're a good thing or not isn't the point. They'll never truly go away so long as money talks.

Wow, so you think it‘s a good thing that Sony is paying Square-Enix, Atlus and others for exclusivity?

I wouldn't assume all exclusivity equates to money hatting (I.e persona) although you have obvious cases like FFVIIR and recently on Xbox Phantasy Star Online 2. But sometimes developers see their audience primarily on one system so are not interested in developing multiplat which does cost more money and effort.

OP: Unless developers are making unique use of Playstation hardware there is no need for 3rd party exclusives. We will still see Japanese ones, not from money hatting but from a presumed pack of interest on Xbox side. Indie games which need help funding are an exception
