Before I start I know not everyone is focused on the exclusive title library a system has, but I know for many it is definitely a key factor
Lately it seems like somehow that previous exclusives are moving to systems they were never on before (whether they are Legacy titles like Crash or Spyro, or something newish like Cuphead; which is coming to the Switch)
I would guess its works by either exchanging one exclusive title for another, for example if Microsoft wants a title that would have previously been a Sony Exclusive; Sony would get a Microsoft Xbox Exclusive in exchange so both get a new title to their systems.
Or more likely they set a price to bring the title to their systems, say Microsoft offers $5 million to Sony in exchange for a previous Sony exclusive to come to Xbox; in this way they dont have to give anything up and someone that may have bought a Sony system for the remastered Crash can now buy Xbox and still get it.
Of course I think newer games may still retain exclusive status on their exclusives systems for a while longer, like until something happens I would not expect to hear Xbox getting the likes of something like Horizon Zero Dawn.
I would like to hear your thoughts regardless of which system we feel is the best or how you feel about exclusives personally
