Exclusives don't exist to make money by themselves, they exist to make the platform more attractive. The real goal is the 30% cut they get from game sales on their platform.

So if people didn't buy PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo games, Sony and Microsoft probably wouldn't invest nearly as much into their gaming divisions, and Nintendo would probably turn into what Sega is today.
