ery good analysis.

Even if this beatdown that Microsoft is giving Sony (relatively) was to continue indefinately, the likely scenario is that 3rd parties drop exclusivity support entirely for the Playstation 3 - no Vs. XIII, no exclusive KH3 (if it came to PS3, and not the Wii), and so on.

In the end, it MAY help the X360 to see limited, continued support of a few 3rd party exclusives, here and there, which would primarily be X360/PC-centric titles.

If this leads to Valkyria Chronicles coming to the X360, as well as Vs. XIII, I am all for it :)

 

while i agree that the ps3 will recieve less exclusive support from third parties, i wouldn't call that a "likely" scenario. it's more likely that ps3 will still recieve third party exclusives regardless. the ps3 is a profitable platfom after all.

But, logically, why would any developer strive to put out exclusive games on the worst-selling system?

Not only is the Playstation 3 the worst-selling system system this generation, and the gap is growing, but, unlike the argument the X360 can lobby against the Wii, it has inferior attach ratios (about 5.5 to 8.0), and a solid track record of multiplatform games typically selling better on the X360.

the words "hatting" and "money" come to mind.
