i don't get what the point of the thread is
I thought it was obvious, but read above.
It just seems like a misleading way of saying that exclusives do better on PS3 than on 360.
No, currently the PS3 has no game with an attach rate similar to Halo 3.
Almost all of the PS3 games are first/second party
No, there are more multi-platform games than exclusives. The PS3 bestseller list has more multi-platform games and lack exclusives like Lair, FolkLore or my personal favourite Super Stardust HD.
and we know very well that Sony is likely losing money on its software
No, they are unsurprisingly losing money on the hardware (very high specs vs cheap price). Overall not on software.
Hot Shots Golf sold way less than the previous games.
You will have to take install base ratios into account for when those games launched.
The bottom line with exclusives on HD consoles is that they are going to be very rare unless money is being thrown around.
Not rare, but more multi-platform games in comparison, but its likely many more full PS3 exclusives will be released during its lifecycle because Sony itself has more software development muscle. Considering 360/PS3 owners on average buy less than 5 games a year, you will see well more than that amount of exclusives per year.
