[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 3038475, member: 4779"] No, it doesn't. If you are basing your opinion of this on internet articles, comments that contain no details from Sony folks and unnamed Devs, try this whopper out (first post, let it load): [url]http://www.hdtvarcade.com/hdtvforum/index.php?showtopic=6547&st=0[/url] Yup. That's what has been going on for the last 2 consoles from both of the big companies. That's not an indicator of game price increases. History shows this to be true. Not that big of an obsticle as you may think. Would you like to place a wager right now on the PS3 selling out at launch or not followed by a shortage of systems that jacks eBay prices through the roof? All that despite not having a single must-have exclusive. Sounds like the PS2 & 360 to me. Exclusive games! There you go. Sony has that covered, historically speaking and even now. Japanese devs will go to the PS3 first and that alone gives the PS3 games that will be exclusives. It's because your theory has holes in it. Because a console costs more doesn't mean that the games will have to cost more. There is no history for this happening. If anything, game prices have gone down and only now with special editions and the 360 are the prices rising above the $50 price tag. Did you just compare a dead system to the most popular videogame system in the world, the PS2? Sega owned that title for like a year during the Genesis days. The only appropriate comparison is Nintendo's fall from the top. When the N64/Gamecube stopped getting (or never had) a heathly selection of games in all genres that's when it lost market share. The fact that Sony could wait until after the 360 came out to release the PS3 (even though they are releasing it early) is a huge benefit for them. The PS2 is still the best selling console out there and it still has two must have exclusives coming out this year: FFXII & God of War II.
