I'm actually genuinely curious what everyone thinks. My feeling is it'll be a close race between Dreamcast and Wii U. I am also curious where Xbox One will end up sitting in the laurels of time with regards to its exclusive lineup.

What had better exclusives, Wii U, Dreamcast, or Xbox One

(I'm assuming you're talking about games that were exclusives in their hayday, because almost every formerly DC and WiiU exclusive game worth a damn has been ported)
It depends on how you want to count an exclusive. Most of Wii U's games have been ported, and a lot of Dreamcasts best games also. But just comparing the two libraries, I'm gonna lead more towards Dreamcast. Mainly because they're games I would love to replay multiple times over (God knows I have the Sonic Adventure games and Crazy Taxi). Whereas Wii U had a bunch of games I loved the first time around like Wonderful 101, Xenoblade X, 3D World, etc. but probably wouldn't revisit.
It's weird because I prefer Xbox One over Wii U but the Wii U had much better exclusives. Xbox One may go down as having the worst set of exclusives for a console ever.
Well one platform survived and the other two died so the answer is the one that survived we did it
Assuming you mean exclusive relative to its generation, I say Dreamcast
The same is happening right now with the WiiU, so it really depends on what OP means
The Dreamcast shits on every console in existence from the 50th floor on the exclusives department.
Saying the Wii U survived is taking some liberties. More like it was hit in the back of the head with a blunt object and then dissected for parts.
Edit : My bad, I didn't even consider the Xbox One so I read this as one survived and one didn't lawl
Dreamcast is it though
Oh come on, Dreamcast launch day alone is probably better than the Wii U's entire first year, how is Wii U actually winning this?
The one that had the best action game ever (and the sequel), one of the best jrpg ever, one with the best mario kart and smash ever (at the time), the one that had one of the best co op 3d platformers, that had a beautiful hd remaster of a beautiful cel shaded game, oh and one of the best games ever (and of that gen too) botw.
Finally, the crucial evidence I've been searching for to support my argument that the VTech® InnoTV™ is superior to the SNES
Honestly surprised the poll is this close.
Wii U ones weren't very ambitious compared to Switch.
XBO felt like the same old.
Dreamcast exclusives were genuinely great (especially at the time) and innovative

Wii U has the best Nintendo games ever (BotW, Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8, 3D World, Splatoon 1)
XB1 has the Forza Horizon series and Gears 5
But its the Dreamcast

Wii U but that's mostly because the Dreamcast was made irrelevant in less than 2 years. What they did manage to put out in that timeframe was pretty damn solid.
There was a brief shining period where we knew that N64/PS1 games looked rough as fuck with their awkward 3D and the Dreamcast was like seeing clearly for the first time.
But the Wii U also has the benefit of HD graphics and generally modern game design so even if we compare apples to apples, it's really hard to make a strong case for the Dreamcast.

People have this rosy idea of what the Wii U lineup was like but they forget how barren actually owning the console was. A dozen games you can put in a bullet list now doesn't change how miserable the situation was at the time.
Dreamcast was a barrage of incredible and experimental games.

Dreamcast. WiiU exclusives were okay. Xbox is more of the same with some neat game here and there, and a lot of them weren't even exclusives (i.e. on PC).
This is honestly kind of a tie if you use "no ports" as a qualifier. So much of the incredible Wii U library got dumptrucked onto the Switch and the Dreamcast having such a smorgasbord of high quality arcade games was unprecedented(on top of having it's library getting dumptrucked across the last two generations).
See and this is where the whole post falls apart.
I'm assuming you are of the mindset that Gears isnt exclusive because it can be played on PC.
The Others can bring up that many of the Dreamcast or WiiU exclusives can be played on other platforms as well.
I was a huge fan of the Dreamcast, and I'd still probably take Gears of War 5 and Forza Horizon 4 over 95% of its library.
The difference is, Wii U and Dreamcast games were exclusive for their lives and got ported years later once the consoles were dead. Xbox One Games were never exclusive to begin with.
