Hey this kind of thing could backfire on them. If the Xbox360 gains "Enough" market share, it could see more third party exclusives just from this fact alone.

 

 sure ,,

but what's the point in having crappy ports ,, no fun and the ps3 will look more miserable :)

Dunno maybe they can give the excuse that Sonys first party games are frightenly good and that the Xbox360 doesn't have such scary games to go up against? xD

Besides, their position is only tenable whilst they either catch up really quickly with development tools or they maintain or shrink the market share gap. If they fail both, then some 3rd party games will sail away and PS3 users will miss out entirely.
