I disagree. They're very expensive systems to be sure, but the real reason people don't have both is because, as is my point, one system just isn't very good in terms of exclusives. If the exclusives were better you would see people buying both, that's the whole issue and point.
While there are plenty of people who don't have the budget for both machines, there are plenty of people who do, plenty enough to sustain a console. Everything costs money, but that doesn't mean there's no such things as monopolies just because everything is competing for your money.
