Exclusives do move consoles but as a consumer, I'm glad there are less exclusives, games I really like I tend to get them throughout multiple systems (multidipping), if exclusivity was as big as it was 20 years ago, I wouldnt be able to enjoy gaming as much as I do now.
Console/hardware makers should invest on creating services and features which will appeal to users over gaming exclusives along with that do competitive pricing.
Personally I own all platforms so whether a game becomes exclusive doesnt hurt me but as a person who used to have limited resources/money years ago and could only afford 1 system, I would be feel frustrated if a game came out on a platform that I did not own. So exclusivity is bad for the consumer.
