Trauma Center is like the complete opposite of a mini-game.

I've only played the DS version but it's reminiscent of old 2d arcade games in the later missions.  Very fast-paced and challenging.  The limits on time and vitality make things fairly nerve-wracking.

Maintaining a slight edge over historical Xbox 360 sales will always leave the PS3 approximately a year behind.

It cannot catch up to Xbox 360, let alone pass it, without beating current sales. This is a mathematical truism.

That's good.  Can it do it in April and May as well?  For the rest of 2007?  Because if it doesn't start consistently outselling Xbox 360 soon, it never will. 

Well they'll be quick to find out they've lost my business.Redfingers

Cry me a river, baby.

No, if it's published by a console manufacturer it is 1st party. The "parties" are publishers, not developers. By your reasoning, F-Zero GX, Metroid Prime and SSB:Brawl would all be 3rd party exclusives.

As another example, Lair is made by Factor 5 and published by Sony, so it is also 1st party. When Factor 5 developed for GameCube, the games were 3rd party exclusives because they were published by LucasArts.

2nd party is badthink legacy of the N64 'Dream Team' era. Don't ressurect it if you don't have to.

If you say so.  I call it an ill omen.
