If Wii starts to dominate this gen, then 360 and PS3 gets ports from Wii games, so if Wii gets spinoffs, that would mean that the spinoff would be the major francise (for example Mario series).

 Sony did invest too much money on PS3 to drop it in 3 years, but if it doesn't make but loss, it would be wise thing to do either drop the console business or move to next gen ASAP. Just like M$ did because they were losing so much money on Xbox.

 there will never bee wii ports, wii hardware is so weak no PS3 or 360 owner would buy a game on their system that was designed for the weak hardware of the wii.

Sony would never drop PS3 support, they sure as hell are not MS.   Thir game divison recovery is happening already..

Yes Hus, if there wouldn't be any ports, this would mean 3rd party support for 360 and PS3 being as good as GC had. In fact, the closest console having equal 3rd party support compared to competitors, would be NES. The thing, that Sony is upping its first party support, also means that it's also upping its costs, which means that if PS3 (and/or PSP) doesn't sell good enough, they either have to drive 1st party down or start making 3rd party games for competitors. Oh yes Sony will drop PS3 support as soon as PS4 starts to look like more profitable option. If PS3 doesn't sell good enough, in 2009 or 2010 at latest, Sonys main focus will be PS4 (if they plan to release it).
