[This would make more sense if games took less than a year to make. Most of the games that graced the PS2's second year were already in development before the PS2 was released. The same thing is happening this generation. The PS line has feet. The hype is going to be backed up by games, if it were up to hyp alone it would be a 2 year drought instead of 1.
Certainly, it does take 18 to 30 months to develop a PS3 game but it only takes 3 to 6 months to port a game ...
If you're developing an exclusive game for the PS3 and you see the system selling poorly you can port it over to the XBox 360 and have a multi-plaform release; if you are already developing a game for multiplatform release and you see the PS3 performing poorly you can drop the PS3 version and re-allocate the resources the PS3 version takes elsewhere.
