In other words.

The DS would be a platform.

The Nintendo Entertainment System, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, the Nintendo 64, the Nintendo Gameboy, the Nintendo Gamecube, the Nintendo Gameboy Advance, the Nintendo Wii, the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo 3DS, and the Nintendo Wii U would be the set of consoles that the Nintendo Console brand consists of barring derivative version such as the GBC and the 2DS.

So you're saying the Xbox is a platform.

But the Microsoft Xbox and the Microsoft Xbox 360 and the Microsoft Xbox One are all one BRAND of products. Please tell me more.

a game on 1 format only. Xbox certainly lacks here

Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

I don't remember anyone before using the term ''console exclusive''. It has only been recently that people started using it. Exclusive=Only available to one platform. Let's say you have a GF she is exclusive to you right? Now pass your girl to the homie is she still exclusive to you?
