And I said that I disagree.
Either you don't understand the argument, or you're being stubborn.
The reason they exist isn't to have big sales, it's to help sell consoles.
You can't say that they exist to help sell consoles and sell a lot, when doing the former goes directly against the latter.
They certainly prefer if they make money(Cause duh), but that's not why they make exclusives.
They can exist for both, even on smaller scale projects. Why would I spend money on a loss that would only bring few people and never recoup it?
