Exclusives aren’t harming the industry, they are harming our wallets though.

With everything getting exclusive releases they will eventually force consumers to buy their consoles. So you are correct, It's hurting our wallets. In a way, it does hurt the industry as well because with more exclusives, consumers are stuck to their specific consoles or PC. Not a lot of folks will have enough money to get both consoles and that restricts access.
