This generation 3rd party games will play a much lesser role because there are like no 3rd party exclusives between 360 and the ps3 in the future...

That is exactly why third party games are so important ...

Compare and contrast the first and second party line ups from Sony and Microsoft and you'll see that these two companies are developing very similar games and (generally) target the exact same demographic; if you only have first and second party titles to choose from it is very difficult to tell these platforms apart.

It is the third party exclusive games that are distinct (either due to their quality or nature of the game) which truely convince people to buy a system. Because both systems are so similar they will have a great deal of difficulty breaking away (in terms of sales) from eachother; which means that it will be difficult to aquire exclusive games.

 There will be almost no 3rd party exclusives between those two platforms (At leat big ones) in the future. So how is 3rd party important?

It's 1st and 2nd party that are most important. Tell me is MS making a game like Uncharted or Heavenly Sword or Ratchet or Lair right now? no.

1st and 2nd Party is going to be the difference between those two consoles.
