Third-party exclusives are usually BS, but outside of console exclusives (which still shouldn't really be a thing either) they aren't as prevalent anymore.
How many PS5 games are truly or even console exclusive to PS5? Maybe a few dozen? PS4 now is in a relatively similar boat since a lot of its exclusives are now on PC or PS5.
One of the few recent console exclusives that is ridiculous is FF7 Remake. The games should be on Xbox as well, and Part I of the Remake should come to Switch 2 (in the likely event Switch 2 can handle it). But nope, Square Enix recently confirmed that PlayStation is the only set of consoles the remake is planned to come to.
Admittedly, licensing and developing for more systems costs money. Still, the pros seem to outweight the cons.
It makes sense that Xbox Series X/S has no true exclusives and not a lot of console exclusives. It doesn't have DualSense or JoyCons, so what would you take advantage of?
