As you literally go from "console exclusives are dead" to "but they're releasing games across multiple generations now"Your next strawman
Act like you couldn't play SMB 3 on the SNES brehs
“console exclusive” literally means a game that can only be played on a specific console.
Not too long ago this definition held true for most games published by one of the platform holders.
Today very few games actually fit that definition and even fewer will into the future.
You sure couldn’t play SMW on NES tho, and the handheld mario was totally it’s own thing.Act like you couldn't play SMB 3 on the SNES brehs

The man defines what he believes console exclusivity is within the first minute of the video.
It didn’t even take a full page worth of posts to witness you move the goalposts
The first thing he says is “playstation exclusivity has become a thing of the past as steam has become more popular”Post the time stamp where the video you posted brings up this argument

I don’t even understand what you are pretending to be confused about here
Sorry, I must have missed the part where he mentioned if a game releases on The Switch and also the Switch 2 that means it's not exclusive anymore.The first thing he says is “playstation exclusivity has become a thing of the past as steam has become more popular”

You can play it on switch 2.
In the past Mario 64 was on 64. And whatever handheld mario game was exclusive to that hardware.
Wouldn’t dare see mario on another platform like iphone, etc.
Today, nintendo had to not only consolidate their development to less total games, they have to sell them on multiple generations of their own console to make their business work.
“exclusive” used to mean “you can only play this game on this console”
Today very few games are actually “exclsuive” to any one piece of hardware, and that trend will only continue going forward.
Somehow, Nintendo exclusives being made accessible exclusively on other Nintendo hardware, is equivalent to losing exclusivity. 
Imagine Mario 64 launching on snes, Mario 3DS on IphoneSomehow, Nintendo exclusives being made accessible exclusively on other Nintendo hardware, is equivalent to losing exclusivity.

Your next strawman
Ports on the successor console=losing exclusivity?Imagine Mario 64 launching on snes, Mario 3DS on Iphone
I guess Uncharted 2 is no longer exclusive because the PS4 got a remaster
A nintendo console launching without any exclusives has never happened before.Ports on the successor console=losing exclusivity?
I guess Uncharted 2 is no longer exclusive because the PS4 got a remaster
Watch how switch 2 does it

"Wave Race 64 is another reason Nintendo how abandoning console exclusivity. It was released on the N64 AND the Wii VC.

Crazy, somebody here told yall this a long time ago…
Nintendo still makes console exclusive games. That won't change. The death of such games is not inevitable.
