1) I am not really into Sony's plans. With hindsight of course they would _now_ love to have spent less, because of their overall financial red :) But we can't really know how much they count to make out of BR royalties and movie streaming 5 years from now.
BluRay is not Sony's exclusive property. The BluRay association has a lot of members that all want their share. Obviously their decision was partly based on a huge BluRay succes, but most of all on a continuation of PS1/PS2 dominance.
2) You're now counting titles, I thought Iwata was talking about total third party game copies?
Btw, your counting is weird... I did some statistics on Metacritic a few weeks ago and I had 374 titles for Wii and 512 for 360. I doubt excluding first party titles will tip the scales :)

That's for 2008 as is Iwata's statement. But 360 having more titles selling less in total would make it even more of an achievement (sorry) for the Wii, doesn't it.
