The only thing I talked about was quality, not sales. And I know it's subjective, I have actually claimed that several times on vgchartz. Objectively seen no first party is superior to the other ones (in quality), but in the end personal taste and opinion decide which you buy. As long as Sony games don't sell bad everything is all right. My point also was that a possible PSP2 would sell well and it won't be killed by the 3DS (although it will sell a lot more).

My second point was about exclusives. KungKras said in his post that 3rd party games drive hardware for Sony and MS. Multiplatform games don't drive hardware. So it's very obvious here that I only meant exclusives here.

1) Sony didn't establish itself in portable space well enough to support even a barely successful and primarily gaming platform in long-time perspective without help of 3rd parties. The strongest brand they have is Gran Turismo, and it seems to me that GT game on PSP2 won't help it that much, since GT did nothing for PSP sales last year. So it's even questionable if they're capable of carving a niche for PSP2 based solely on 1st party offerings (at least if PSP2 will share it's predecessor overall concept, they clearly need some new ideas and software).

2) He's right. The only 1st party game that has a shot at selling massive 10M on PS3 is GT5, was it released? I assume no. And GTA4, MW1 and MW2 with combined sales of over 20M, I guess, did nothing to drive PS3 sales?
