uuuhh that's because Sega is now making games for EVERYONE. And beyond that Nintendo now owns Sega so that part of your post is irrelevant.

Condemned 1 was not published by M$ so it would've been on PS3 had PS3 launched sooner. Listen people there is a difference between published games and franchises that are OWNED. Here's the difference - Gran Turismo is OWNED by Sony. Final Fantasy VII was publidhed by Sony. Fable is OWNED by M$. Gears of War 1 and 2 only (as of now) are published by M$. They own the rights to those particular games in the series. But they don't OWN the whole series. Here are franchises that are OWNED not just published: (Nintendo - Mario Kart, Zelda, Metroid, Super Mario series) (Sony - Killzone, Gran Turismo, Ratchet & Clank, God of War) (Microsoft - Fable, Project Gotham Racing, Perfect Dark, I would say Halo but if I'm not mistaken M$ only owns the rights to the name "Halo" but Bungie owns the franchise itself - feel free to correct that if I'm wrong about and apologies if so. Regardless u see my point. None of the mentioned franchises will EVER see the light of day on other consoles because of OWNERSHIP not just publishing rights to one or two games within a franchise.

You actually backed me up here--the question is whether or not Gears 1 and 2 would go to PS3 if #3 did.  Obviously, the answer is 'no' because Microsoft has the rights to them.  In contrast, Condemned 1 came out on the 360 (yes, I know it's before the PS3 launched), but they released the sequel on both systems.  By the logic that the OP is suggesting, they would have ported the original to the PS3 as well.
