I'm not going to repeat once again what everyone else has said here, but I could go ooooon and on about all the formerly Playstation-exclusive games that have gone to Xbox.

But when your previous console owned some 80% of all third party software produced, shouldn't that be inevitable? ^^;

 

 

Not really the point, but most of the PS-exclusives that went multiplat were announced when PS3 WAS still expected to dominate. But that's beside the point--his topic is highlighting how the PS3 is getting former Xbox-exclusives (even though he's pulling some out of his ass), and I rebutted. How these multiplats came to be means nothing.

But them's the brakes heading into a new generation of technology that no debate has a much higher dependency on big budget titles. The userbase isn't there to support that kind of move. The only natural order would be to have the potential multi-plats be just that. Later in the generation it will be far less commmon, but so early in there's no real choice.
