Say you have a car and a TV I would like to buy from you? Why the fuck should I buy your whole house just to get them when those are the only two things I care about?

Because by buying Castlevania, MGS and Silent Hills, you are basically clearing them out. Why would people want to support anti-consumer decisions like these?
This will breed other companies to do the same. Let's say if Google Stadia brought these IPs instead of Sony and they promised to make them big AAA budget titles, would you be happy about it?

How is this 'anti-consumer' in the least? It's good business sense. If you want people to come to your platform, you offer them experiences they can't get anywhere else. Companies are not charities, they aren't going to make money simply by wishing for it and hoping their 'customers' feel generous. People buy Nintendo products becuase Nintendo consoles are usually unique and interesting and gimmicky while also having easily the best lineup of exclusive games. People buy sony becuase they also have a wide variety of well-loved exclusives as well as power that can compete with Xbox. Nobody has been buying Xboxes becuase they have no exclusives and the few 'exclusives' they do have can be purchased on PC.
This isn't 'anti-consumer', it's Business 101. This outrage by folks like you bitching about exclusivity makes me laugh becuase you are either delusional, entitled, or blind. Either way, your opinion can't really be respected if you're that distanced from reality.
