And you'd be kidding yourself if you didn't think Sony is actively looking to buy up 3rd party developers right now and increase their share of exclusives. Which makes the current scenario bad for Xbox gamers, too.

It's great that this doesn't matter for the section of gamers that own two platforms, but that would be the minority.
Unfortunately for Sony, they don't have the same buying power as Microsoft. When Microsoft doubles you in revenue each year it is harder to spend billions of dollars on acquiring top tier developer studios. What Sony has done, has worked for them.

And like I said earlier, it looks like Microsoft won't have exclusives the same way Sony does. Worse case scenario for PS5 gamers will probably be a timed exclusive and I assume it will be closer to 6 months, if that.
