You're going to be waiting a while for a new top notch IP from Microsoft.

Really? I thought the next one would be Codename:Kingdoms

Microsoft is only publishing the game. It isn't in-house and I havent seen gameplay. Pick another title. Its about as exclusive as the original Mass Effect.

what if they own the ip rights?  Nobody knows that yet.  In which case it would be just as exclusive as resistance or ratchet and clank.  

Ok....you're comparing a title from Crytek (who generally make games for themselves) to Insomniac who has since the PS1 era been making titles exclusively for Sony? They are third party, but are almost seen by the industry as an unofficial first party. Microsoft has never had that type of respect since entering the console industry.

thats cool, so sony's unofficial first party studio's are going multiplatform with their next game?  Thats some crazy logic man.  Insomniac going multiplatform just goes to show that historic trends don't mean anything when it comes to new ip.  

The question is which game you're talking about? Thats when I'll answer. Bungie is multiplatform, Ensemble is no more. They bought the rights to Ninja Blade....and nothing came from that. All they've got left is the top new IP of the gen they started with which is gears. Insomniac might be going multiplat, but they've always been faithful to Sony. I guess being third party they just want to make more money now. They've made console defining titles for Sony for three generations. Theres no crazy logic about that.

Insomniac isn't going completely multi-plat. Its only for one game.

LOL...until they see those sales on the 360...

Wait....you actually believe 360 sales will move Insomniac? If it hasn't done it already its not happening. They will do nothing exclusive for Microsoft, much like Bungie will continue to make exclusives for Microsoft.

HUH?  I'm not sure what you're saying...but I'm saying, they are working on a multiplatform game, and I believe it will see better sales, then what they have seen to-date, thus moving into the future they will make SURE that their self-owned multiplatform IP is the focus of their development house...is that better?
