Not sure if this is a joke. Sony registered the trademark Starhawk, that should tell you what platform it's on.
Anyway, I don't think 3rd party exclusives are a thing of the past, there's a reason why MS fanboys hold on so tightly to the thought of ME2 and why Sony fanboys held MGS4 and currently hold 13VS so tightly. There's a reason why the mere mention of the possibility that 13VS might go multiplatform (without a source) turned many PS3 fans against VS, with them saying that it'd be a mediocre FF spin off.
I do agree with you though, Sony will come in force next generation. Hopefully they won't do a Nintendo and abandon 3rd party exclusives almost entirely and will have a good mix. But I don't think we'll see a mega GT sized blockbustre from Sony's first party studios (given what they've accomplished thus far) any time soon, but you never know.
My favourite new IP for the PS3 is Uncharted. Not because of how good Uncharted 1 was (there were much better games on the platform) but because of the promise of the franchise (Uncharted 2 looks amazing, hopefully it won't have a gimped plot this time around).
