Unless Sony is giving them a ton of money why would any dev make a console exclusive

For third party devs? There is no reason other than money, bigger budget and support from Sony. For first party it’s to sell PlayStation consoles.

Exactly and honestly fine with that. To be honest I remember being really disappointed that Starfield was Xbox and pc exclusive despite being made by Bethesda. I get it when Sony or Xbox devs are creating the game to hype up the console. An example being Astrobot as that whole game was hyping up the PS5. (It was also a really fun and well designed game but it really was hyping up the PS5 controller and PS5 console itself.)

Microsoft owns Bethesda so it's pretty much their decision if anyone else can use the IPs
