Sony are publishing NiOh in America and Europe and Nier is listed as a PS4 exclusive in that video so who the hell knows
He means that it'll probably come to other platforms.

Isn't this the case for most 3rd party "exclusives" these days? For people who only game on consoles, it has the same effect.
People with Steam accounts get to sample from both sides of the moneyhat bin.

Switch.
That's the point that OP is making. "Console exclusive" = "The only console this game will appear on".

Nier might be coming to Xbox One so who knows.

That video has a bunch of errors in it. Anyway, this is from Sony's official site

Do you have any proof otherwise? Looking into it all I see are articles confirming its exclusivity.

You mean intern #32 lists Nioh as a console exclusive.
That video features Nier 2 that's it's been confirmed coming to PC.
Also, this generation Sony has shown several times to make the distinction between Playstation exclusive and Playstation 4 console exclusive. These are all console exclusives even tho we know most won't come to PC.
Sony likes to blur the line like that to play with your hype.

If it happens then it happens. Looking at those logos is not how we're gonna find out.

Nier is announced for Steam.
As for this video, I wouldn't put any weight into it.
As for Ni-oh exclusivity, I wouldn't be surprised if it was limited to consoles. As for people saying Sony is publishing it, Nintendo also published Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor Edge in the West. And Microsoft published Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2. We all know what happened after.

Video has errors e.g. Detroit and Dreams are not scheduled for 2017.
Maybe bother to look at the alpha and beta threads or high-level gameplay videos.

Ah sorry I should have specified Nioh. Most places that confirmed it being exclusive was about a year ago so I didn't know if there was anything more recent
Uncharted 4 has just "Only on PlayStation" on the box, do you think it's coming to Vita? lol
My mistake? Anyone comparing Helldivers and NiOh is out of their mind.
It makes sense to put a small game on PC, but Sony won't put the next big thing on PC.

You're right. At least Sony owned the Helldivers IP. It's not the first time a 1st party publish a Tecmo Koei game in the West.
Ah, well Sony recently announced they were going to publish it and confirmed again that it was going to be an exclusive, at least for the initial release :

"small or big" games change nothing. Thing is, Helldivers (and Everybody's gone to the rapture btw) is proof that Sony is open to publish games on steam, even if it's their IPs.

At the moment, it's not. Nothing has been confirmed other than it's a PS4 exclusive. The official website says it's coming solely to the PS4, and that's how it is until either Sony allows it to go to the PC or their contract is up (I'm guessing it's the former).
The console version, in the West, is published by Sony. Doesn't really mean anything other than it being a timed exclusive. Ryse and Dead Rising 3 were also published by Ms on XB1. Didn't stop self-published PC ports from coming later.

Lol I asked about this in the YouTube comments. I thought Nier Automata was multiplat as in PS4/Xbox/PC.
Nioh is the next big thing? Also Sony ain't putting anything it's not their game, they're publishing it but nor you or anyone else knows if that publishing deal stops KT from publishing on another system.
And yes you wrote that comment and edited it so fast, that's where my reply is coming from.

according to my flawed logic, yeah, it's inevitable
You wouldnt say this if you played the Alpha and Beta.
I don't think Sony see's PC as competition. Honestly it's really not your Basic consumer that goes to Gamestop Consoles rule. So pretty much this marketing is to let people know it's not coming to xbox.

Is there any history of that happening in Sony's case? I'm not sure using MS as an example for Sony is enough.
Sony won't put it on PC. KT will, like Crytek dI'd with Ryse and Capcom did with DR3
If Sony wanted to invest that much in the franchise why wouldn't they just outright buy the IP to prevent sequels from coming to other platforms? They only bought publishing rights, and only for the West. KT could even make a Japan-only PC version that released at the same time if they wanted.
Maybe bother to look at how KT ports on PC end up, because that is what I was talking about. Its a hypothetical.
