guys everything he said is right.
1 - multiplatform games will become more PS3 oriantated. Its simply easier to port a game from PS3 to 360. Also once the process is done its easy to replicate.
2 - SONY originally wanted to get a new audience with PSP -- and Nintendo claimed they weren't in direct competion. The media hailed PSP as the greatest handheld. Now SONY says their not in direct competion. The media is saying -- umm ... my handhelds are collecting dust. And Nintendo still says their after a different market than SONY -- Nintendo wants casuals whom havent played games before ....
3 - This generation is different for 3rd party devs. Before consoles were all very simaliar. Xbox vx. PS2 vs. Gamecube -- which console is completly different from the others ? Compare it too this gen with Wii vs. 360 + PS3. The games which sell millions on Wii don't sell well on HD consoles. While games like CoD4 sell better on HD consoles and its cheaper for activision to pump out bad-game-that-sells-well-x on the Wii ....
Basically what im saying is. On the Wii shovelware sells. On the HD consoles it dosn't. Ofcourse good games like Brawl, Mario Galaxy, Mario Strickers, Paper Mario and some 3rd party games (RE4Wii, NMH, etc) sell well. But can they sell at CoD4 / GTA4 levels ??
As such while the Wii may win the hardware war i doubt it will dominate the industry like the PS2 did. Besides 360 and PS3 should outsell Xbox and GC... Wii vs. PS2 is hard though (How long will PS2 last ? Its at 130 mill shipped atm)
