The argument of the "exclusivity" is a really weird one; I know there's some social engineering so people get aside logic in favour of tribalism.

But you don't need that much logic, it's really basic.

  1. If a game isn't exclusive for your console... you can still buy and play it
  2. If there exclusive games for your console... by competition rules the console of "your enemy" also need to have exclusives: less choice you have in the run.

The most compelling argument I see in favor of console exclusives is they're usually high quality, with little to no MTX, as they're used as system-sellers. As much as I dislike exclusivity of any sort, we are now seeing those titles come to pc, so pc gamers are also benefiting from console exclusivity to some degree.
