This is likely due to the exclusivity factor as exclusive releases on Sony's platforms have historically shown to be a better hardware driver than that of multi-platform releases. On average, PS3 exclusive games sell 45% more, throughout their lifetime, than multi-platform titles available on the PS3. Exclusive titles for the other two systems, the Wii and Xbox 360, only boast a small increase in lifetime sales over multi-platform titles. Of course, in all fairness, the first year of Xbox 360 titles were pretty much all exclusive since the other systems were not available on the market."

What a load of crap. Almost all the top sellers on Wii are made/published by Nintendo, all of which are console exclusive titles (save Zelda which is also on GC, I don't count M&S at the Olympics because handheld vs console not really comparable), one wonder how he comes up with this "truth".

 See, I read that as saying that people who own 360s and PS3s usually buy the 360 version, which is actually bad for Sony, but since it doesn't mesh with the analyst's thesis it can be ignored.

Speaking of said analyst, what ever happened to the good old days, when they publically kept their mouths shut, and only talked to people who were willing to pay for their services? I can only surmise that their private recommendations are different from those they release publically,  or else we have an epidemic of overpaid people on Wall Street. 

Sorry, an even greater epidemic of overpaid people on Wall Street.
