Larian is having trouble fitting Baldur’s Gate III on the Xbox Series S, the lower-priced and lower-powered console in Microsoft’s ninth-generation lineup.

I was looking up more information on why there’s such an issue getting BG3 on Xbox, and found this article with a lot more detail on the topic.

EDIT: The issue isn’t graphics or frame rate; it’s memory. The article goes into detail.

Is the PC a console? No. So it can be 'console exclusive' on PS5.

No. If it were a PS5 exclusive it wouldn't be released on the PC.

Topic title is "PS5 console exclusive" emphasis on "console". On consoles, it will be a PS5 exclusive for an indeterminate length of time.

The PS5 is a console. If it were a console exclusive, it would still not be released on the PC.

I think they're saying it's exclusive on consoles to PS5. But it's not exclusive to PS5, the console.

The title is confusing for sure.

But there are certain titles that are only on PS5 and not PC?

Of course yeah. But more often than not PC isn't factored in when something is called exclusive or not because honestly PC and Consoles aren't in competition in the same way consoles are with each other.

Ghost of Tsushima is a PlayStation exclusive game (so far at least, fingers crossed it'll come to PC soon), but God of War 2018 is a PlayStation console exclusive, small but important distinction
