Well every 3rd party publishers release their games on PS3, and PS3 has tons of exclusives nobody has, so I guess yeah everybody is happy about the PS3.

Wake me up when one publisher decides to give up on selling games to >21 million installed user base, Kotick would lose his job the next morning if he did that, the shareholders wouldn't be that happy.

Other than that, like I said, if release date matters, then PS3 wins on the time frame from launch compared to 360. If release date doesn't matter, then PS2 is in front by far.

Either way, Sony is doing well.

What matters for me the most is PS3 wins in game quality and quantity. That's my opinion. I don't play with my hardware sales at home, I play with my games.

How can you say everybody is happy about the PS3 when you obviously know what Kotick has said?

As for Sony doing well...
