This is a strange reasoning. As now most of games are multiplat and also released on PCs. PS4 for instance has a huge library, but not a single exclusive now because of the cross gen thing, you can get any their game elsewhere 

Exactly my point and why Nintendo ranks high for me.  I can't play their offerings anywhere else.

If Sony keeps porting to PC, yeah I might go that route and start buying PC.  The only reason I haven't is because of GPU prices.

So my opinion holds for me.  Exclusives sell hardware.  If next generation I can get MS and Sony titles on PC....  why get an Xbox and ps6, when a single PC will suffice?

Series S is selling fine without exclusives though 

I think a big library is much more important than having exclusives. PS4 have very few exclusives and sold a lot. Like... why care if the game is in another platform? If the game runs fine in a platform, that it counts to that platform regardless if it can be played elsewhere 

About the PC question, there is no reason, because PC is by default the best platform so if you can afford a nice why totally go for PC unless you dislike the hurdle of building it, but PC being the best platform doesn't lower the quality of the other consoles that shares the same games, doesn't make sense 

Edit: Your point is indeed very counter intuitive. Because you are saying to maximize que quality of a console you need the platform to be full of exclusives. Let's say every game are released on just a single platform, to maximize such platform quality. Then you need to ALWAYS buy the hardware of the original game to play it, which is like... totally nonsensical and a waste of money, it's good to have backwards compatibility and parts from older systems. Imagine Switch without all the older gen ports, or PS5 without PS4 games... totally weird to think of that.
