Doesn't Microsoft's bribing of 3rd party developers work by pay off sort of like buying up the estimated value of copies the game would sell on it's competition?
Well after March 2009 when the PS3 pulls ahead of Microsoft in total hardware sold MS will lose it's edge when it comes to bribes because they will be too expensive.
With less and less bribes from MS and size restrictions on DVD vs a plethora of space on a BD, 3rd party developers have less and less incentive to develop for the 360.
And unlike Sony and Nintendo MS, Microsoft has hardly any 1st party games.
It will not be as instant as their last flop but a bit more gradual. The end for the 360 system begins half way through 2010 and it will slowly and slowly fade and the end will be over by the end 2011.
