@CrazzyMan: You make no sense at all, you just ignore all the facts people point out. Then you make assumptions without them being based on facts, considering PS3, while ignoring that the same assumptions can be made about 360 and Wii.
Now, look at it, PS2 had 2 of the biggest IP:s last gen; GT and GTA. First one is first party and the second 3rd party. GTA4 going multiplatform was a big loss to Sony. Losing MH3 to Wii was also a big loss in Japan. There are quite a few PS3 exclusives what are likely to go multiplatform and few IP:s that has the "Sony label", which are going to be Wii exclusives. As long as people expect them to go to PS3, it doesn't hurt, but as soon as some are announced as multiplat or another consoles exclusive, it is going to hurt.
A lot of the gamers are going to jump ship, despite the fact that some of their favorite games don't come to the platform they've chosen. It just happens all the time. Besides, for a lot of people some certain sequel don't offer anything new, since they already have the earlier game. Of course, certain games do help the platforms sales, but it's the same with all the platforms.
PS3 benefits from BD (although this far it has only hurt PS3) until BD has been established in the market.
Like i said earlier, the brand recognition goes beyond brand, people who think they are buying PS3:s, may buy Wii or 360 just because "Playstation" stands "games console" to them. "The Playstation with the Halo" or "the Playstation with the fun sports game".
