MS hints at decline in third-party PS3 support

[Bodhesatva]

While we may see some small games (like Two Worlds) that start on the PC as 360 exclusive, by and large, this won't happen. Microsoft will get virtually no benefits from their position. The 360 cannot survive on its own, just as the PS3 can't, either. The combined "PS3/360" platform still has some claim to financial relevance. The 360 platform alone mostly cannot. If you think shareholders are discontent now -- with all the layoffs, studio dissolutions and lost money -- just imagine if companies began to do 360 exclusives, when there is a system that sells significantly more software and more hardware and costs significantly less to develop for.
