@Leroy Brown what debacle from last gen? PS2 was almost all third party software.

PS2 had alot of third party software and exclusives, third parties were happy, everyone was ready for Ps3, Ps3 was a flop, third parties are in a pickle now, thus debacle. In otherwords, last gen they had put all their eggs in the PS2 basket and this became problematic with the PS3's failure and now they're forced to readjust their game plans and views on console exclusivity.


I don't know that 3rd parties were all that happy. They were already planning on diversifying their support before the PS3 disappointed. And last gen they only concentrared their eggs in Sony's basket because it was so dominant. Both the Xbox and Cube had good 3rd party support at the start of the generation. Had GTA3 been more like GTA2 than the most influential Killer App of its generation, its possible the parity between systems would have been greater, and support for the XBox and GCN greater.

Let's just pray this is a generation where everyone wins, not loses. I really do not want this to be the beginning of the death of true franchises as has happened to Final Fantasy.
