Just don't look at Nintendo
Invalidates his entire argument by arficially cherry-picking the datapoints.
MS's recent successes are anything but proof exclusives are not important. Virtually all of their recent successful games were conceived as 3rd party titles that MS had almost nothing to do with, back before they bought the publisher.
If anything, the current success of Bethesda and Activision titles on PS5, is just proof that the audience for those publisher's games were overwhelmingly on PS and PC platforms to begin with.... but we already knew that, because Zenimax and Activision financials published sales data showing the Playstation as the favoured console platform for their games, long before MS invaginated them.
