Breath of the Wild deserves on this list, even though there is a Wii U version. If we exclude it, then The Last of Us doesn't belong in a PS4 exclusive list either and that one is mentioned in such lists all the time.

Is it? Or is it mentioned in lists for PlayStation exclusives / Sony exclusives instead? And TLoU doesn't belong in a PS4 exclusive list.

Why not change the thread title to "Nintendo exclusives on Switch must haves" and everybody is happy?

Also, this debate reminds me of tomatoes being a fruit versus a vegetable. Well, TECHNICALLY they are a fruit but on the side of context and common sense they're not. Nobody puts tomates in a damn fruit salad! But sure, some crazy minds would even do that juts to prove a point.

Considering TLOU was released on PS3, sold over 7 million copies eventually become the 3rd best selling PS3 game, and just one year later was released on PS4 I don't know why anyone on their right mind would call it a PS4 exclusive 

The trick is easy: re-release the exact same game, just up the resolution a tiny bit and call it a remaster et voilá.

Those are just a few examples, there might be more links but I think that's sufficient.

I supposed then Dragon Quest XI is also a PS4 exclusive, as Switch version isn't DQ XI it's DQ XI *S* :p

Reading one of your sources:

"Okay, okay, so technically The Last of Us was one of the best PS3 games, "

So in reality those "journalists" recognize this is not a PS4 exclusive but are including it anyway because of... reasons 

I can only fathom some kind of exclusivity bias. Those articles, just like this thread, wants to point out how good is a system based on exclusivity in a attempt to say "That's a list of great games you can't play elsewhere, buy the fuck machine", even when the said game is clearly not a exclusive 

I just realized nobody creates a list about "Best non-exclusive games of a platform",  because the point of those lists are never highlight the games themselves only the platforms

I want people just dropped this exclusivity nonsense and made lists about the best games of a system regardless of its exclusivity

So if someone claims falsely that TLOU is a PS4 exclusive then BOTW deserves to be claimed as Switch exclusive?

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Especially the Digital Trends list is a joke... almost half of their listed games are also available on PC.

Be better than these guys!
