It looks like the end of the console-exclusive era is marching ever forward. On the one hand, more game studios are embracing simultaneous launch strategies, as was recently emphasized by both Square Enix and Ubisoft adopting multi-platform simultaneous launches for Fantasian Neo Dimension and Assas...
Don’t forget the king of hardware exclusives: Nintendo! Other than ones with gimmicky motion controls or displays that can’t be easily replicated, most of their games would have the best experience by being more accessible, on better hardware, using better controllers, but Nintendon’t want that. They would also be cheaper!
You make a fair point. It’s always Microsoft vs Sony. Nintendo seems to always avoid the exclusivity argument. I always figured it was just the type of person their games typically appeal to.
