It doesn't. Look at Titanfall 2.
I still think if it sells very well the sequel will be for Sony's system. Insomniac seems to enjoy making platform exclusives.They've made multiplatform games, but their bigger games are exclusives (they even did it for XB1 with Sunset Overdrive). I am sure when they make exclusives, they are given complete creative control, yet they don't have to risk anything because they are paid upfront by the first party publishers. That, and they can maximize their efforts by focusing development on one platform.
Sucks for those that don't have the console they choose to make an exclusive for, but in the end, just about all of us have limited access to every game. The barriers that limit that access are time and resources, so not all of us can get every game. I have no problem with that.
I still have hopes that Octopath Traveler comes to PS4, but I won't hold my breath. I won't be cursing the developers for doing what suits them and their business model for my sake, either. There are too many games already available to be salty of exclusives.
