and then port their successful titles to other platforms

Well, then they're not exclusives, are they? I get the point to speed up time to market, but I'm questioning the benefit of having "lifetime exclusives", or anything beyond 1 year, honestly.

The implication is of course that less successful titles will not be ported either because the company runs out of money or feels they are better off working on their next title than investing more resources on porting a middling title to a second choice platform.
