I think its better when consoles have exclusive games because its usually the exclusive games which show off the power of the console. Come on lets be really honest now, if GeOW 2 or another x360 exclusive was originally going to be multiplat the game would not have looked as good as it did because half of the development time would have to go on the other console(s) aswell.
Pluss because of the ps3's architecture, the engines used to build the games for the ps3 need to be specially adapted.
If a game is going ps360 the ps3 will tend to lose out on performance being as the cell is hard enough to program for without having to create an engine that works with the very adaptable x360 aswell.
For example, a developer makes a game called XXX. From the start its going to be multiplat. They build an engine that works for both consoles but dont do the tweaks needed for the ps3.
The finnished product looks worse on both consoles being as the ps3 was made harder to program for because of said engine and the x360 could not be fully polished because of the time spent on the ps3.
Last thought, what multiplat game looks better then the upcoming exclusives to each console.
