... Nintendo literally personally develops their exclusives, let's not pretend that's an apples to apples comparison.
Xbox is absolutely terrible at buying exclusives though, yes. Worse than Sony, arguably.
My point is; there are more platforms that do exclusives.
The problem isn't having exclusives, it's buying exclusives to punish customers, which Sony (and Xbox) does.
It’s one of their business models, so of course they do. Sony, Xbox and Epic Games.
I don’t like it either but that’s the current world we live in and until majority stop purchasing the exclusives, they will keep doing it.
