Considering many of the third party million sellers (read that as almost all of them) for this generation so far have been on the 360 it's mind boggling to assume the system would have trouble keeping or even gaining support. Please explain why the PS3 which to my knowlege has NO third party games that have sold in even remotely similar numbers to the 360 would now be a threat? Why would developers just ship from a console that is doing very well for them to one that is shaky at best and hasn't proven it can move software in the numbers required to develop for the system and be profitable?

No one claimed that third parties were going to give up on the 360 all of a sudden, bro. We've just been saying that just about all third party games are gonna go multiplatform eventually.

 jmans got it right. THe 360 has sold what... about 9 milion? With 178 titles out there and 8 third party titles to hit the million mark that is not much to brag about really. I am pretty sure most of theose devs wouldn't mind maximizing their profits to hit multiple systems. The 41 titles out for the PS3 has most likely already been out on the 360 or just was released simultaniously. I doub't any company was really expecting record sales of their titles. lol with the exception of namco. Out of those 8 million sellers on the 360 you bet your bottom dollar that if the PS3 was released at the same time as the 360, 7 of those titles would be multiplatform and it would have been a really interesting match. I am pretty sure that quite a few of those sales were because there was really no competition for the 360 when it was released.

 

Yeah.. funny how developers want to maximize their profits.. makes you wonder how many ps3 exclusives will stay exclusives... i mean if 9 million is nothing to brag about then what's that compared to 3 million consoles sold?
