I think overall it's a good thing - certainly for the developers. They get free press (and in some cases maybe money/deals).

The issue that most people seem to forget is that console manufacturers cannot be the sole provider of games for a console, because that would mean they would need a massive number of development teams and a would need to jam pack every conference with games, games and more games, which they would not be able to do. So 3rd party involvement is necessary.


this is true each Console needs both third and first party in order to be successful like why do you think the PS3 eventually surpass the 360 cause they had third party support on with Microsoft and they released more exclvusives then Microsoft for the last couple years
