Maybe indeed.

But put it this way. 360 had a huge momentum going into the previous console war. They laid out major heavy hitters, from Lost Oddysey all the way to IDOLM@STER. They literally left no stone unturned in their attempt to conquer the gaming market everywhere.

They've lost a lot of that momentum this gen, partly in due to the fact that Japan hates the 360, as well as the fact that PS3 has enough of a critical mass that most 3rd party devs cannot afford to alienate the Playstation base.

That story is unlikely to change going into this gen. It'll take a long time for the consoles to gain the critical mass they want, and even then, both consoles will have a major share.

Even if none of their 'exclusives' go on to be multi-plat this time round, I feel like they're not going to be able to go as strong as they did for the 360.
