nice list but u forgot MGS :)

It's first party, not third party.

ME and gears are first party?

 First party published.. yes.

More like second party.

MS doesn't own Epic, or BioWare, so we take down 13 million units, and the 360 is 3.5 ahead.  Rol is correct, they are about equal.

But down the line, this will change as Sony has tons of first-party games hitting relatively soon, while MGS is only interested in publishing third-party games.

What does owning a developer have to do with anything? In fact, you could say that MS makes more money per game for Gears/Halo than Sony does from Uncharted/Resistance because MS doesnt have to pay certain infrastructure/premise costs that Sony has to finance. Hence, if we are talking about pure 'selling power', MS publishing rights for Gears/Halo are more lucrative. Also, then do we have to remove LBP/KZ2/Heavenly Sword?

Down the line, yes things may change but its still to be proven, and so far only MS has succeeded in creating an original mainsteam IP in HD - Gears.
