not in trouble right now, but if they lose more 1st parties then its a problem. 3rd parties arent going for exclusivity anymore.

Says who? 

 

He's thinking of independent third parties that keep taking their exclusives and making them multiplat. What he doesn't realize is we're talking about games like Resistance, Ratchet and Clank, Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword, and Lair that were created by studios Sony doesn't own but made IPs they can't bring elsewhere.

 

 

Small correction- Sony do own Evolution Studios, the Motorstorm devs.

As for the topic, I really don't understand why MS haven't tried to increase their amount of 1st party developers. What they're doing seems like such a poor strategy in the long run. But what do I know, I don't run any game divisions.
