Can the 360 hit the "Exclusivity line"?

Given HD games are generally a 2+ year project the developers are having to make these predictions now and I think we'll see a flow on effect from that starting towards the end of 2009.

For a small studio wanting to make an HD title they see the PS3 clearly in 3rd place, selling far less software than the 360, having higher production costs and far more difficult development programming for the cell and that adds up to a lot of reasons to focus on the 360. Especially when you see the results of Haze and Lair, that's going to scare a lot of developers away no matter how you want to twist it. These are all going to cost Sony dearly in the long run. In the past developers had to work with the underpowered and difficult to program for PS2 simply because of the massive market share it had, but this time around it can simply be looked over as an afterthought because there are too many attractive alternatives available.

That's an oxymoron.

There are no small HD studios.

If a stuido is small, then they're making a game on Wii, or PSN/XBLA/WiiWare

If a studio is making HD games, then it's on PS360PC. 

The only reason the PS2 had all the exclusive games is because it sold 5x better than it's competitor.  Looking at sales, there's no reason to have a 360 game exclusive or a PS3 game exclusive, since sales are relatively close, at least much more than the PS2 and XBOX. 

And if you're going to make an HD game on either platform, spending more money to almost double the possible userbase is stupidly stupid.  This will most likely never happen.
