Kwaad, the thing you should have noticed is that PS never lost its market leadership to the N64 in the US and it N64 didn't even get close in Japan, so all developers went to the PS. For PS2 it was even worse, they had a 10M lead in the US and Japan combined, and after the launch of the Gamecube/XBox and the holiday season the lead only increased, once again establishing Sony's console as the one to develop for by third parties. Of course PS3 is not dead yet, but just comparing the start of PS, PS2 and PS3 without taking the competition into account makes no sense at all.
