The big 3 in order of the power of system selling exclusives has always been:
1. Nintendo.
2. Microsoft.
3. Sony.
In this current generation.
If a game doesn't sell, it doesn't move systems and Sony simply hasn't released that many games which have come out and outright sold systems. The only significant game they did release was known about since the start of the generation, GT5. Anyone who says that the exclusives released by Sony has lead to some kind of manifest destiny is pretty much deluding themselves. It has always been the brand and the expectations around the brand which has made the PS3 perform as well as it has. If the 'Playmaker 1' had been released in 2006 for $599 it would have sold fewer than 10M consoles.
Tease.
