Then those people can't afford the best combo. Nothing wrong with that. I don't make a whole lot of money, but any gainfully employed adult with even a cursory understanding of their budget can eventually save up and get all the platforms... it's just that someone who makes less will have to wait longer is all.
I'd put 360 + Wii second just because 360/PS3 both have a similar amount of exclusives, but 360 has the added benefit of far more PC/360 titles, and XBLA
Nope, having everything is extremely overrated. The best combo is PC, PS3 and of the current handhelds, probably 3DS/DS but both handhelds have strong reasons for owning either unlike the consoles. I own everything but handhelds and I don't use 2/3 consoles and the PS3 barely gets any use as well. Before this gen I thought I was missing out on only having one console with PC (I probably was all things considered) but if next gen is anything like this one (and it will be) then I will be going back to my old ways and getting 1 console with a PC.
PC and Wii is the best combo. I don't game on PC nor own a Wii. But, the PC has the majority of games that the the PS360 have so owning a gaming PC witha Wii would be an awesome combo.

In my opinion, being able to play all the exclusives is extremely underrated.

No way, sorry. PS3 has some great exclusives and doesn't require the $60/year subscription. You can play the bulk of 360 games on the pc, and in a better fashion. ALL the must have ps3 games aren't available on pc.

I don't see the point in buying a console for 5 or 6 games.
At this point during the generation, any gamer could be satisfied with a single platform. Combos were only necessary when the libraries were smaller, and quality releases were spanned by months instead of weeks.
I think the Fireball, Upercut combo from SF2 was pretty awesome at the time. Or in Mortal Kombat 1, scorpions teleport punch followed by a spear worked pretty well.

Even assuming you don't buy all exclusives, that's a damn huge batch to choose from.
If guess if you want to count any and everything. I'm sure PC's exclusive list would hit a 1000 if I went down this road but at the end of the day it's still not worth it. Counting those exclusives like that (because I'm sure there's bush in there) is like when loosingends makes his X360 exclusive list. There aren't that many standout games that are exclusive.
