Precisely my thoughts as well. I recently had an intense experience with FF16, so I checked Steam charts to see how the game was doing. I was surprised to find the number of players was much lower than I had expected. I understand the game's somewhat niche appeal, but this made me wonder if the exclusivity deal hurt PC sales. For example, Spider-Man, which was also originally a PS exclusive, performed poorly on PC too-and that’s a major IP. I haven't looked into it in detail (did not check many more games), but it might be worth mentioning.
