Can PS3 survive to the N64 situation?

The ps3 is still selling about 200k units a week. That's 1 million every 5 weeks. Why would 3rd parties stop supporting it? That's like saying no to a potential of 20 million already... and 29 million by the end of the year, even if they DON'T increase the sales rate.

 

If you can see far higher revenues on another platform based on the same cost, or similar revenues on another platform on a far smaller cost, your profit will be far higher and your shareholders will be happier ... This doesn't mean that all games or game developers would leave the PS3, but publicly traded companies are (essentially) forced to seek the highest profit which means that the vast majority of their support will not be focused on the PS3

Then why does EA develope for the PS3 first and port to the XBOX 360?

Higher profit is acheived by selling to all consoles, not by excluding 20 million of them.
