This proves MS did it right:
Timed Exclusives are worth it.
- You get the buzz and the sales
- The other guys get the sales scraps and the majority have moved on.
ME2 is a 360/PC experience, cause thats what gamers remember it as.......cause thats where most of them played it.
The PS3 version will be forgotten or remembered as an afterthought.
Timed exclusivity works, period.

Microsoft did nothing right. They have no more true core exclusives (outside of forza) after the Gears contract is up. With Mass Effect gone, there is a huge void in what their offerings hold. They better have a mind blowing E3 or else a lot of 360 owners will be buying PS3's in the states. Mark my words.

u dont get it.....business they scored a home run, getting more then 2 million sold for 360 and Sony getting the scraps
us gamers will remember it as a pc/360 game cause thats where it was relevant. ps3 ME2 buyers are basically the guys getting the sloppy seconds.
lol you must really think most gamers are irrational, impulsive idiots if you think a dry season leads millions to buy the competition. Every heard of multiplats..........u know.......90% of a consoles library...........where 360 usually gets the superior version, whether it be the game itself or LIVE making the game superior.
P.S.......most core gamers allready made their console choice. Its all about winning over casuals at this point.

They may have gained the Mass Effect base of sales, but we all know more than 2 million people have played the series. On the PC it has to be one of the most ripped series of this generation. On the PS3 it's just beginning. It cannot be seen as PC/360 title because of the fact that it is a PS3/360/PC multiplatform title. If you dont like that it's just something you'll have to deal with and it now you liking it on the 360 is only a matter of opinion, when everyone can experience it in their own way.
Most gamers aren't irrational (because they are the market), and Microsoft isn't stupid. Theres a dry spell because Microsoft decided to focus elswhere. Microsoft only gets the superior version of games than the 360 depending on how well developers know each systems hardware. If you were to say Sega or Bethesda I would say yes, but if you were to say Eidos or Bioware or even many others I would say no.
The core gamers are making their choice. This is why the gap between the 360 and PS3 is slowly closing. four million for a year gap isnt bad at all. Watch and see once the flood of games come this year and 360 owners get lonely once the multiplats are devoured and they are waiting for gears to come in fall. The developers are starting to notice the active installed base of the PS3 starting to grow so they are transferring a lot of DLC to the PS3. If you want DLC on the 360 look no further than the top shooters.
