I quit consoles because of the exclusivity nonsense
Nintendo was included in that statement.
Well, exclusive games is the only thing Nintendo really has going for, and it’s working. And those games being first or third party isn’t really making much difference for the final user.
Only real difference is hardware lock in.

But you’re not the market. So this not working for you doesn’t mean it’s a bad strategy, and Nintendo is an example of a company who pulled this off.

I don’t particularly like the direction that Nintendo has taken in recent years, but are you willing to ignore that they were the only company in the market for handheld gaming until very recently? It’s not just game exclusives.

They were not. They killed the PSP and the Vita. Even before the N64 and the GCube had massive exclusives.
The only “recent” failure was the Wii U, which had only one or two great exclusives.
