The PS3 didn't take a beating for releasing a year late. It took a beating because of the high price, lack of good games (compared to other systems), and difficulty to develop for. 

Aye, and that last one was a loss due to their late release. If they had released concurrently, PS3 would have had third party parity with 360 from the beginning, or very soon after. Instead, with this comparatively easier system that they had a whole extra year to learn about, 360 was able to hold the 3rd party edge for quite some time. 360's large lead in sales also crippled PS3 in that many brands that were known for being PS brands, even early on like GTA or Devil May Cry, went multiplat

PS3 launching a year earlier would've come with its own problems, but it would've solved the early software problems that plagued PS3

I thought the PS3 was difficult to develop for because of some cell or something while the 360 had similar architecture to the PS2. The PS3 was difficult to develop for because Sony made it that way. correct me if I'm wrong as I don't know much about tech.

If Sony makes the PS4 similar to the PS3 then the first party will make good games because they're used to the PS3.

As for the Brands, The PS4 won't lose many exclusives because nearly all of the exclusives on the PS3 were owned by Sony. unlike the PS2 where the biggest exclusives were 3rd party.

 

A PS4 with simmilar architetures would be easier because of PS3 lessons, but it could also have a new architeture and we say goodbye to 3rd party in the beggining again.

And about exclusives... yes best ones are 1st party, but Sony would be in trouble... maybe lose most 3rd party support for MS.

lol that would throw my prediction out the window. It would be stupid from sony if they did that

True, that's a possibility. Ms could probably pull in some exclusive franchises when the 720 releases (like Gears of War or Mass Effect). I guess we have a long time to wait and see.

And I bet both MS and Sony knows the market better than all of us (even tough they make silly mistakes), so lets pray they do the best for us gamers while they think about what is best for them as company...
