On top of all this the PS3 hasn't really lost any games


Don't know, we may have lost BioShock, this and a (framerate solid version) of Mass Effect I may have been interested in for the PS3.

For the long run I think the 360 will become a minor factor and if so, I think this would good for the PS3 as devs may decide to much better tap the PS3's distinguishing factors. (Likewise most mulitplatform Amiga games only started to tap into important hardware benefits when the Atari ST was being overshadowed)

No Mike you said the PS3 may have lost Bioshock and a (framerate solid version) of Mass Effect.

 

Let me break up the comment for easier reading

"Don't know, we may have lost BioShock,"

.

"this and a (framerate solid version) of Mass Effect I may have been interested in for the PS3."

I am not interested in any of the other 360 games. I played Kameo, Dead or Alive 4 and Tomb Raider Legend the most on the 360, I bought into the hype surrounding Gears of War but didn't like the game that much for various reasons. IMO Halo 3 is similarly overhyped.

  

I should give up as we are going through pointless semantics. You may have meant one thing but that is not how you stated it. The bolded this equals Bioshock. This and a (framerate solid version) of Mass Effect means Bioshock and Mass Effect. Not only that, you were responding to Elnino334's comment about lost PS3 games. If you didn't think the game was lost on PS3, why include it in your response?

As for Sony fans thanking MS, the only think they could possibly thank MS for are the JRPG's. Without MS's moneyhats I doubt there would be as many JRPG's for the HD consoles. The Wii is stomping both the PS3 and 360 in Japan and without MS' financial incentives 3rd parties would be more likely to focus on the only console that sells in their home market, the Wii. It is much cheaper for a 3rd parties to port an already paid for game to PS3 than to risk creating that game for the PS3 from the ground up given the limited Japanese userbase of both it and the 360. There are over 2 Wiis for ever PS3 and 360 in Japan.
