If the next generation has 2 consoles with such similar capabilities and fanbases as the 360 and PS3 then yes, it will continue. It is almost never outright profitable to stay exclusive to one console unless you are getting a incentive from said console's manufacturer. It will only get worse (or better depending on your perspective) next generation where 2 more "just more powerful" consoles will be nearly identical from a gameplay standpoint (and lets be honest, the 360 and PS3 almost are already.) They will either need to go their own route, like Nintendo did this generation, or differentiate themselves with non-gaming capabilities, which won;t matter to game makers
 I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly.
