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 :)

I think you misunderstood what Carmack said. It's not about crappy ports, he said Sony won't allow a late quality port with no added content.

Maybe this is Sony's way to account for faster 360 development? "Either delay your 360 games, or make some extra content for PS3".

Doesn't seem like Sony is sending any love letters to third parties.

 

opps i did :S ,,

@ squilliam

i didn't fully understand what u wrote

in general : it all depends on ps3 sales ,, if they are good then the 3rd parties -even if they have to put extra content- will port the game and gain money , add content won't bethat big problem

but if the ps3 sales go down then : ps3 says: bye bye 3rd parties see u next generation :D
