Nintendo could not compete on a hardware level with Sony and MSFT, so they turned to their exclusives and some novel ideas to survive and eventually thrive again.
Sony was down and out during the 7th generation and it was with exclusives they had their resurgence and were able to succeed
Having great exclusives on your platform should push other platform holders to make their own great exclusives to compete....
competition is good and therefor exclusives are good.
Exclusives are an area of competition between platform holders and platforms, the same as hardware specs and performance, accessories and services....
There has been a narrative recently that exclusives are 'bad' and are not needed anymore, yet this is a complete fallacy, aimed at cutting the legs from under PlayStation and Nintendos strongest assets.
People do not go around saying performance should be locked across platforms because it is unfair to have different settings.
People do not say services should all be the same and offer the same perks and games etc.
So why are people now trying to dictate what areas companies should compete on? and why have companies been gullible enough to fall for it....
In short, if you believe in competition, you should be supporting fully exclusive games on consoles otherwise you risk being a hypocrite.
Hermen Hulst for example is failing in his job, PlayStation has less exclusive content lined up than ever, less unique reasons to buy and less excitement from the core PS fans right now.
We expected many more acquisitions and announcements for expanding the 1st party....but all we get is Nixxes (Housemarque is small potatoes)....... he might as well have taken a dump on PS fans door step.
Hermen doesn't seem to understand the function of exclusive games, the reason they exist or their power and how easily that power is broken when you shatter the idea of exclusivity wit even a single port, the man must be a moron.
