Exclusives are unnecesary. "They add variety", that's bullshit, that "variety" is just a different controller, and it's completely unnecesary.

Let's say there was only 1 console. All console games would be made for that console. As such, instead of X focusing on FPS and Y in all other genres, that one console would not focus on any, instead having a good amount of all of them.

If one wants to make interesting functions in a videogame then extra add-ons can be made, such as the Kinect, Playstation Move, and the Wii's Wiimotion+. Activision did it with Guitar Hero, Rock Band did the same, they did the same with DJ Hero, and no one really complained until Rocksmith came.

Exclusivity only exists because companies are greedy and corrupt and want to get more money for themselves. It's the only reason Microsoft got into the Console market like Sony did. Nothing justifies exclusivity, nothing. You would be doing something that is not just unnecesary, but retardedly stupid.

You want to do things right? Release it on PC, and then port it to the Xbox and Playstation, or vice versa. And then, if you so desire, port it to the Wii U, though that last one will take more time because the Xbox and PS4 are basically the same shit, but the Wii U is more different (Which is both good and bad for Nintendo, reflected in sales and reception).

It's the only logical, rational choice. More sales, more players, more popularity, all leading to more cash. And from a technical point of view, you lose nothing either. It's a Win-Win over exclusives.
