The 360's weakness is now its strength

360 is a beast in the states, but is waining in other regions and non-existant in Japan. Right now its only advantage is being able to handle the same games that developers know will never make back their money on PS3.

well, to me this is a big advantage: X360 is the "FPS console" also for developers...after seeing COD4 sales ( 1.5M in 3 weeks in US alone according to NPD) i don't think that any 3rd party developer interested in making a FPS would take the risk of leaving out the X360 and give an exclusive to PS3.

 

On the other side, when the game is not a FPS, the "not so amazing" performaces of great games (both in terms of quality and developing costs) like rachet or uncharted won't help the decision of 3rd parties to bring exclusives to ps3 leaving out the x360.
