Exclusive Games - worth it or no?

[Sol]

Has anyone had a good experience with releasing games as manufacturer exclusive? I am looking to increase my console market share but these games either lose me a LOT of money or if they make a penny, they only increase sales by like 10k-20k, for a console with a range of about 1.4m sales.

I feel like I should be getting more than a micro fractional percent of increase.

Any tips for retro games, classic games, or game bundles?
I would like to figure out how to use these if they're useful.

Maybe when you can buy companies and they are just making games only for you may e the feature would feel more impactful and effective

On one hand, no, they don't really affect sales that much.

On the other hand, it's a way to finally be able to completely forget all the meta in my head about which computer/console died at what year and month or was very unpopular.

However, I tend to find the option redundant once I have four (or more) consoles around, as the games I make are going to already be "manufacturer exclusive" either way.

What I can say is... There really isn't any drawback at using the option, unless your consoles just plain suck (I guess?,) and I only managed to do that on purpose: lowest I got was 7.0, and that was releasing a Tier 1 console in the Tier 3 era...
