For people who are unwilling or unable to buy into the console ecosystem for these few exclusive games, they are literally deciding they would rather have none of our money than the some they would get by offering games on other platforms.
Obviously.
But the point isn't the exclusives and their sales.
The point of exclusives is to get people who can only afford one platform to buy yours and be forced to buy every game from your online store.
If it didn't make sense the first time, ask what you're missing.
