The fear for a lot of people is that if Xbox games aren’t exclusive people will buy a Playstation instead. Which makes sense, why by the console than can play most games when you could get the console that can play all games. This puts the Xbox hardware platform in a very difficult place. Especially because it’s already way behind in market share.

I feel like the little things add up. I mean I bought my PS4 because it had a decent modding scene, the UI looks nice, I like PlayStation's trophy system, and the controller more than the Xbox One.

I only really consider exclusives when they are locked down to weird peripherals. The Wii controller or the Vita's front and rear touch screen for example.

It is neat when I can play an exclusive but it's definitely more of an after thought and usually the console is a generation behind.
