Points:
1.) I wouldn't say they were smarter if they were they wouldn't have had the rrod thing.
2.) Yeah, even if the PS3 was selling so badly that it was being pulled from American store shelves it will be the reverse when PS3 hits 6 to 7 million sold in Japan during the next fifteen months. So what does that mean? And, we would start to miss out on all those jrpg exclusives that will be heading the PS3's way once it establishes that large of an install base in Japan while the 360 will still be under 1.5 million. I would miss them. I like jrpgs more than shooters.
3.)When more Japanese games start to come to the PS3 as a result of what I outline in 2, you will see more diversity in third party games for the 360 and PS3.
4. ) Actually as far as exclusives go on 360 if game isn't called Halo or Gears or Fable on 360 it tends to have far fewer sales than most of the exclusives on PS3.
5.)releasing a year earlier typically means that you'll be the first to release your next console while the other system will probably be out longer. Genesis, SNES. Dreamcast, PS2.
Heavens to Murgatoids.
