We see it all the time. What was once thought to be an exclusive title for a console goes elsewhere. Capcom did it to the gamecube big time last generation. Now it has been announced that FF is no longer a PS3 exclusive, something I personally saw coming a mile away.

Those are the breaks when your console is not number 1. You have no leverage and the sales potential just isn't there any more.

Its something that has been blatantly apparent to me for a while, but seems to be coming as a shock to the PS3 fans. You can't rely on a game being an exclusive unless it is 1st or 2nd party. That is just the way it is.

So, Nintendo has Mario, Zelda, Smash Brothers, etc etc etc, MS has Halo, Fable, etc.

For you PS3 fans, what 1st party franchises do you honestly look forward to?

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. What Video Game Character Are You?

Resistance, Little Big Planet, Killzone, Ratchet, Uncharted, Jak, Infamous, SOCOM, etc.

Sony has a pretty solid first party-lineup of games.

Does Infamous count as First Party? Or is that just an exclusive?

That and Valkrie Chronicles are my most compelling PS3 only titles. So far. E3 is sure to have a surprise or two.

I have no interest for Sony 1st party at all. Actually I like God of War... the rest are alright but not something that would make me buy a console.

Microsoft side I like Halo, Gears and Ninja Gaiden (if that can be called first party). And thats it...

Nintendo again...no interest.

Capcom has more games I like that all the console manufacturers 1st party games compbined.
