I'm certainly not pro-market restriction in anyway, ideally games could be played on any device available to you. But it should be clear to everyone now why the 'releasing exclusives on all systems' approach is bad now.
Money used to be spent by publishers and console makers to make exclusive games to draw people to their console. It may suck but people can't make games without heavy capital behind it. In that way, it would seem in a modern capitalist economy that the publisher and distributor ARE just as important as the writer and the artist.
By not having exclusives anymore, we're just getting less games overall it seems.
