3rd Party Exclusives are hurting the industry

Just stopped there. Do you think devs are agreeing to exclusivity just because they like Sony or MS better? They're getting a financial incentive. Unless they wound up making a dumb deal, one would presume exclusivity is actually beneficial. 

It literally says "hypothetical" 

Also if a company invests into the development, sure, no issues being exclusives, if a company slides a $50 to keep a game off competition consoles, thats taking a short cut. Thats my point. Use the money to create or buy more studios to build a 1st party empire instead of hurting the competition by taking away games form other platforms. 

O_O................ that in no way is a coherent response to what I said. 

We know these deals are generally beneficial to third party devs or else they would not be pursuing them. So in a hypothetical world without third party exclusives they would be worse off. 

What you said after the also makes no sense either, but I'm only going to address one bad point at a time.
