Both the ps3 &  the Wii are defined by a range of recognised  , quality , exclusive ,1st/2nd party franchises which help both consoles to differentiate themselves.  Both companies recognise the importance of 1st  party suppport.

Wii : SSBB ,  MK WII , WII FIT/SPORTS/PLAY/MUSIC , ZELDA TP , MP3 ETC.

PS3 : UNCHARTED ,  GT5 , LBP , K2 , SOCOM:C , R2 ,  VC ETC.

360  : Halo 3 , Fable 2.....Banjo Kazooie ?

MS relies  heavily on 3rd party support ; Gears , Mass Effect ,  Bioshock ,Star Ocean , Splinter Cell  are all 3rd party efforrt .  This means we can't be certain of any future 3rd party support , even if ms is supper rich  they are in this to make a profit and once they have the install base moneyhating will loose  it's viability , how will this affect the 720  ? with  ms reducing 1st party support(http://www.ensemblestudios.com/) it should be a major concern to us all.

 

opinions ?

 

Gears, Mass Effect, Forza, PGR, Viva Pinata (and yes, Halo, Fable, Banjo) - all published directly by Microsoft.  You don't really have a point.

published is not the same as 1st party.
