Spreading exclusives out over time is actually smart business from Sony.

The thread is talking about spreading out exclusives. Last generation, the PS3 was getting many exclusives not spaced out that well and that lead to many selling badly.  

I'm not seeing it.  I went back to look at 2011:

LBP2 - January
KZ3 - February
MotorStorm - March
SOCOM 4 - April
InFamous 2 - June
Resistance 3 - September (6th)
ICO & SotC HD - September (28th)
R&C All 4 One - October
Uncharted 3 - November (2nd)
EyePet & Friends - November (15th)

It's possible that I've missed something but that still looks pretty darn spread out to me, especially considering that was one of Sony's best years in terms of total content.  I will concede, however, that EyePet & Friends might have cut the legs out from under Uncharted 3.
