there is no doubt that MS would love to trade there first party for SONY's first party any days of the week because there line up this year is very weak to the line up the PS3 is packing.

Can't believe people post this sort of rubbish O_o

Sony does have a better first party and more games, but you don't think MS could achieve that if they wanted?? It's pretty clear they think in a business sense, very wary of going for smaller niche titles or games that don't have the likelyhood of becoming blockbusters. It's also cheaper to buy 3rd party exclusives.

MS run a tighter ship than Sony on this sort of thing, because they're thinking about the $$, not as good for gamers, and I'm not saying I entirely agree with it, but you're wrong. MS don't want Sony's first party or a similar set up ... or they would already have it. (A similar set up, not Sony's 1st party obviously)

On top of this, if Microsoft would be able to do a trade, then they would pick Nintendo. After all, Sony's first party puts up similar numbers as Microsoft's while being more costly.

Indeed, along with the fact Sony has many games that have a top tier of 2/3 million, Ratchet, Resistance, Motorstorm, Killzone, Infamous, ____Hawk, Mag ect. Heck even LBP doesn't look like a blockbuster franchise anymore. MS has those games too, Alan Wake, Banjo, Crackdown, but with each of those games you can tell MS wernt very happy. It's probably why they didn't mind ME and Bioshock going multi, it wasn't a massive franchise, unlike Gears.

i stand by my call, 1st party studios are an great wealth to have and out weigh any 3rd party agreements. 

Well of course you do, unless it's making significant $$ towards the business though it's not got much bearing on an enviable position.
