Did you forget that you infer that everyone who buys a PS5 is fool for wanting something that has no exclusive content? The people who can go out and consoles without all the stupid walls are superior to those who put them up. You owned a Wii U as a primary console and all that was, was exclusive content; how'd that work out?  You would think the difference between Wii U and Switch would be an eye opener in regards to how the market feels about exclusives. Remember Switch is in a Dark Abyss right now because Nintendo may or may not have exclusive content out this whole yea but switch just did 300k units. 

It is only recently that PS has established a strong first party brand. PS has always been defined by .. the biggest libraries, exclusive or not. 1st party, 3rd party? Who cares cares. Just more games.

Exclusives not remaining exclusive is not a new thing. It was like that back in the day too; CAPCOM 5 ring a bell? Point is exclusives are not the defining factor of a console. PS2 sold a shit ton for being a cheap dvd player. c'mon

Your first sentence is a non-sequitur. 3rd party support =/= exclusive 1st party content. 

Your second sentence makes no grammatical sense. Could you rephrase your 2nd sentence in a way that makes more sense? Possible typo in that sentence?

Wii U was never my primary console. When I bought the Wii U, PS3 was my primary console. It stayed that way until I bought a PS4 in 2015. 

On average Nintendo has released four high quality 1st or 2nd party exclusives to the Switch per year. Switch is selling on the strength of its 1st party back catalog right now. That, and Animal Crossing is the biggest hit Nintendo has had since, well ever. Expect Mario Kart to be dethroned as the top selling 1st party IP with legs. AC is going to quickly blow the Mario Kart series away in that regard. Switch *is* in a horrible drought right now for 1st party content. Luckily this drought came after the torrential downpour that was 2019, and most Switch customers are drinking from the massive back-catalog lake that formed. 

PS has been about strong 1st party since at least 2010. 

There's a huge difference between 3rd party games no longer being exclusive to a console that sold badly, vs 1st party games being ported to another platform, despite the home console selling very well. 

I'm on phone right now and trying my best to keep answers short. This will be put hold till later. I just don't feel like doing this right now.
