First and second party titles always bring in more money than third party titles. This is why Nintendo was fine for the last two generations, and it's why the Gamecube was the only console to turn a consistent profit all throughout last generation. It's also the reason why MS has lost so much money. Aside from Halo, their first and second party sales aren't anything to write home about. Sony's first party may not be up to par with Nintendo's, but it's a hell of a lot stronger than what MS has to offer. If 360 exclusive third-party titles started to go multi-platform and/or change hands, then MS would be in a lot more trouble than Sony is right now. |
Microsofts 1st party efforts up until now have vastly exceeded the impact of Sonys 1st party games.
Halo 3... The Killzone 2 + RFOM 1/2 killer.
Tease.
