I had to explain the whole shebang since it appears you are unaware about such basic facts =/ But hey, it was fun teasing you about it. The ps3 will get the same support it got last year, but it has nothing to do with the "contaminated" raw revenue numbers and more about tools and engines already in place which means porting costs are lower and the userbase while relatively small, is big enough to justify the porting efforts. This is not news however, it's been true for most of 08. You should also stop using the term "moneyhat" pejoratively when talking about Microsoft's Xbox strategy. It's a tool Sony extensively used in the past and up to a certain extent it still employs. Before Sony had built a solid first-party team of studios, they moneyhatted what they thought would be relevant IP's. So you either make a thread ranting about Sony moneyhatting or stop complaining about it altogether. You can't demonize what Microsoft is doing while Sony did the same without looking like the standard biased gamefaqs fanboy. The fact you use your username and avatar to troll doesn't help, as well.

Referring to mere currency differences isn't the same as referring to the change in exchange rate over time, which is what you needed to mention. You failed to communicate correctly; you referred to a comparison that had no bearing on the discussion, and thus you were wrong. You got it on about your third attempt, though.
I'm glad you think things other than strong PS3 sales indicate that PS3 will have strong support going forward; sales also contribute, and I say you're wrong to deny that. If PS3 games weren't selling as well, Ubi would feel more free to go exclusive with more games. Thus, this sales report is good for PS3. Oh noes! Bitmap Frogs says that's propaganda!!
I referred to moneyhatting as an exception to my statement that Ubi releases would probably be multiplat b/c the PS3 versions were selling well. If Ubi receives money/extra incentive, then of course an exclusive is more likely. It's perfectly true and it's common sense.
It's good that you brought that up again in this last post, along with your annoyances about my username and avatar again. Hell yeah, I picked those when I went from lurker to poster, prompted by everything starcraft was saying on these message boards. I was pissed at his FUD, which back then was way worse than it is now.
Anyway, anyone reading our exchange would see that you abandon multiple lines of the argument each exchange, pick one to maintain, then I argue on that point, maybe to have you abandon parts of that as well. What if we went back and dredged up all the points you've abandoned?
Good showing, man.
