what i am going to say is more like a comment on some statements i have heard recently around here, they were abt the PS3 being unattractive market for 3rd party support, games like KH3 is the most common example now.

When the PS3 was released in 2006, it was expenisve, new tech, late release compared wz the x360 ...etc , all these factors made the PS3 had its worst reception possible, that's why many companies had to go multiplatform especially wz the x360 userbase and simple architecture ( and let's not forget MS money :)), RE5, DMC4, Tekken 6 and FFXIII are theprime examples. Now in 2010, things are different the userbase differnce is around 6-6.5 million (mainly in NA), the PS3 is peaking over the x360 in WW sales and its price is very resonable now, and the architecture is more known now (still tough) ........ i mean things are very different, i think 3rd party dev. now are willing to take some risks wz the PS3.

the multiplatform train will still be the dominante but i am sure the PS3 may get back some lost exclusives at some point and it may pick up new 3rd party IPs on the way, of course the PS3 isn't a good environments for any kind of exclusives like ME2, SC:C, that's why they are currently x360 exclusives, but wz the PS3 dominating we can expect anything in the future.

So KH3 could be PS3 exclusive, yes, it's possible, it could be multiplatform, i dun know.

of course all these are specualtions, so dun consider it as my absolute vision, it's just an analysis.

I doubt it. Its still going to cost more to make a game on PS3 than on 360, and the userbase is still smaller. Not to mention I still haven't seen any proof of these supposedly higher worldwide sales. All that being said, the PS3 is improving in the multiplat department lately though. Dragon Age and Darksiders are two good examples. But no, the PS3 is not dominating (sales) and for most developers, there is still little incentive to make a game PS3 exclusive. More likely, we're going to start seeing less difference in multiplats.

After PS3 slim launch PS3 is washing the floor by 360 in Japan, 360 is slightly outselling PS3 in NA so guess Europe is the one which determines who is selling more and sadly that area is untracked.

Why should we change the way we see the PS3 and third party support? Why not just call it like it is?
