Only systems that depend on third party software will be affected, because that's what will be available on OnLive. If Nintendo made a system that depended on third party software, then they will get cannibalized with or without OnLive.

That is absolutely false.

While Sony's FP games are brilliant, they are NOT what mainly sells the system.

i didn't say Son'y firstparty sold the system. thirdparty is why it sales now not when the gent started.

think about how this gen started. where was Sony's thirdparty support then? Sony got to where they are on there own this gen

They got there on brand name and rainbow hopes, nothing else.

Sony's PlayStation business would be pretty much dead by now, if third parties hadn't carried their systems. gens 5 and 6 yea but this gen don't see it. Sony got through four yrs without strong 3rd party support. yea it was there, but not like your claiming.

Just taking away Call of Duty alone would be a major blow to Sony and this isn't even touching the likes of Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Assassin's Creed and others. But as long as all these franchises remain on PlayStation, an alternative like OnLive can't do too much damage, because even the 360 which is much stronger competition couldn't stop the PS brand. ok you threw me off with this one. the last part of your statment is true, but AC and COD had a smaller hand in Sony's comeback this gen then MGS and FF. for the post part i agree with this paragraph.

Time to look at some sales. Eight of the top ten spots are third party games, 13 out of the top 20.

That doesn't make sense. Just admit it, you are only looking for some way to disagree, because I am Rol.
