So I watched the new GOW3 trailer from the VGAs on GT and took some time to read the comments. One of the comments on the first page went along the line of "if M$ buys God of War's contract then it's over for the ps3..."
I'm not about to argue about how misinformed that statement is but something more peculiar. Last gen, when xbox was nowhere close to the ps2, the box still got great exclusives like KOTOR, Panzer Dragoon, Ninja Gaiden (i bought one because of this), Jade Empire, and many others.
This gen, the ps3 has lost virtually all it's 3rd party exclusives because it's fallen 7.1 mil behind the 360 among other problems. Okay, now last gen I was still an avid browser of gaming websites and the only game I remember ps2 fans then making a fuss about its unavailability to them was Resident Evil 4 (GC) which was kind of understandable due to the series coming to life on playstation. I too was surprised when capcom initially skipped the ps2.
Fast forward to this gen: we get endless clamoring for mgs4 and ffvxiii from 360 fans because the 360 is 7.1 mil ahead (nothing, compared to ps2 vs xbox) and even a comment about God of War III? With the purportedly vastly superior xbox 360 library, why are many 360 fans still fussing over 2 ps3 games (probably 1 eventually because I think FFvXIII is going to 360)? It really doesn't make sense. Last gen ps2 owners seem to mostly just ignore other consoles because they had so much to play but this gen, the ps3 can't be left alone?
It's really strange...
