Unless MS is paying them to keep it exclusive then there is no good reason to keep it just on 360. 3rd party exclusives don't make any sense to me.

Microsoft's already likely done the "payment". I'd agree though, 3rd party exclusives only really make sense when they're being subsidized by the hardware maker... which Gears 1-3 undoubtedly were.
|
Agreed, They definitely paid for Gears to be exclusive.
|
Some people call it "payments" when M$ does it, and "developmental partnerships" when other console makers do it...
|
lol developmental partnership just sounds weird. I'm not trying to knock MS here, it was a smart move getting Gears to be exclusive.

How would you describe the Resistance franchise, for example ofcourse...

Microsofts relationship with Epic is in now way the same as Insomniac and Sony. Insomniac by choice has been loyal to Sony's platform for three generations. Sony could buy them, but they don't have to and I've seen interviews a while back talking about such situations as this. Insomniacs games are like unofficial second party. With Epic they are still making multiplatform titles. Insomniac has been making exclusives for Sony since 1996. Theres no real subtration that needs to be done to find the difference.
