Does Sony not care about third parties? (FF XIII related)

My point is that Sony can't live off first party and some second party games forever. MS is buying exclusives and multiplats. If the game does really well on the 360 then third parties might not put that certain game on the PS3. Userbase is crucial and without the proper third party support it could hurt them. MS can always buy exclusivity or companies can just make games Wii exclusive (MS hasn't gone after Wii exclusives. They seem to only want to hurt Sony.). I mean...yeah, the PS3 won't sell 100 mil+ but couple that with the fact that they don't make much money on the PS3 and third parties are leaving Sony (making 360 games exclusive or multiplat) and Wii games as exclusive.

That's a flawed logic. 

Third parties will continue to put games on both platforms.  PS3 userbase is rising each week, and in short order will be ahead of the 360 (2009 ish).  SO what are you talking about?  Do you not see the sales each week?  Has PS3 not made up 1.6 million units of ground this year on the 360?  Are you blind to that?  And as we saw with FFXIII, userbase is critical, which is why it's not releasing on the 360 in Japan.  Third-Parties can see that.

I still don't understand what you're talking about.

 

I mean that even if games are multiplat then sales will be divided, hence each system wouldn't be getting a "full" boost in HW regardless. MS can still buy exclusives if they wish and if they sell well they won't go to the PS3 and companies can always make exclusives for the Wii.

They didn't win, but they almost made as much money on the GC than Sony did with the PS2. Sony can't do what Nintendo did because they sell their systems on a loss.

@Crazzy

Mind telling me where you heard it's getting an inferior port?

After what happened with the ps3, you think sony or even M$ is ever going to sell their systems for a loss again?
