To whoever may be frustrated about games losing exclusivity to a specific platform, ask yourself how such a decision actually hurts you. It only benefits the corporation when we root for a specific platform over the competition like a sports team, because that means we are locked in with customer loyalty to that company as we turn a blind eye to amazing games on other systems.
And it typically only benefits consumers when a game goes multi-platform because that means there is more amazing games available without having to own all of the different systems.
I'm very guilty myself of focusing my game collecting purchasing habits on console exclusives, even though I own all of the systems currently on the market. But this kind of approach only tells me how effective as a business decision exclusives can be even if the overall player size is smaller. It's just interesting to think how even with my awareness of the psychology behind it I'm still part of the problem with my spending habits.
