Sony is already starting to buy exclusives too now, why do you think Haze is a timed exclusive and the rumors about the PS3 version of Unreal Tournament being a timed exclusive to be announced at E3...

This is getting very competitive, but at least Sony is finally countering MS' willingness to drop millions of dollars on exclusives...

I don't think it's a good direction. I think own studios should decide about this war. These numbers are insane. How much money will generate MGS4? Even with 5 million units sold (it will not happen) it's only 300 million and this is revenue... How about real money (for devs and console producer)?

it's not a matter of gaining something on a game...it's a matter of making Ps3/X360 the leading multimedia/interactive device in the world, and actually the first multimedia/interactive device that enter the houses of millions of customers...you start selling a videogaming machine and end up having introduced in millions of houses a device that make you browse the internet (and for example purchase movies, music or whatever you can think of) with a remote controller.

In other words i don't think we can read this "next-gen-war" only in terms of making the no.1 videogaming machine, the prize is actually much more interesting for Sony and MS: it's the first true chance to define a standard for the years to come for what MS calls mediacenter....by the way the first wise move is: "kill the opponent at ANY cost"...and given the actual situation in which PS3 is vulnerable (poor installed base) MS is just tryin' to hit as hard as possible (stealing the games that could save PS3 from failure...and under this light even spending a ridiculous amount of money for two games could make some sense) :)
