Well considering that Nintendo lost out to Sony for the same reason (focusing more on first party) .... I would think that they would be smarter.

 

Nintendo lost out completely, (losing FF franchise), while Sony only lost its exclusivity.

Slightly different, but enough for Sony to reconsider its position.

 

Well if Sony only focuses on internel development as they say they are and Microsoft buys out all third parties, then soon enough all third party franchises will be Xbox360 exclusive. Obvious here.

I think Sony should start shelling out some money.

That's really not true, if it becomes bad enough Sony will shell out some cash to keep some major 3rd party games from becoming 360 exclusives, but really it would depend, I doubt MS would want to pay Capcom the amount of money it would take to make DMC5 360 exclusive.
