The 3rd Party Balance Sheet of Terror

@Eric Aston ^^^

Thanks for the feedback and the suggestions.

Regarding the "partial exclusivity" point - I addressed it before several times on the thread, including a few posts up the thread. The key point is that we are not trying to identify the platform that has more exclusives but instead we are trying to see if a platfrom gets in danger of consistently being denied 3rd party titles - and therefore we care about titles that don't show up on one of the platfrom, even if they show up in many other places. See full post above somewhere.

The rest of your points are very good. Additional information will be very useful. So I will try to arrange the list by time and I will also add the exclusivity level. BTW, quarters is more appropriate than months - months have too much flactuations with very small numbers.

You are also right about me starting to draw conclusions in the thread. I shouldn't have. I don't think the facts I used are really disputable and each have multiple references from developers, but I should keep it about the information collection only.

Let me check about APB. I am pretty sure there was a solid reason why it is on the 360 list.

Edit - I checked on APB. The PS3 version is a admitedly rumor (quoting: "Rumor - APB Coming to PS3?"). No confirmation anywhere that I could find. The official word currently does not have it coming to the PS3. The OP rules states "no rumors". I will take it out of the 360 list once I get a better source than a rumor.
