*sigh* why do lemmings keep doing this to themselves? They say its an exclusive now but when its announced for the PS3 they'll back out trying to say "bu bu but.. it was a timed exclusive!" or "bu bu but.. we already played it, cows just want our leftovers"
Theres absoloutely no reason for it to be exclusive. Maybe timed but then again, why would Microsoft want LP2 timed when there millions of other better games.

You forgot the "uh, obviously it's multiplat. No one hyped it as an exclusive."
Oh and the source for that Business Week article isn't even sure if PS3 is still sold at a loss. They're speculating. Furthermore:
Having sold the PS3 at a loss for its entire life span so far, iSuppli says, Sony may reach the break-even point with the PS3 in 2009, and start turning a profit on the consoles after that. "Every time we do a teardown, it's sort of backward-looking," says iSuppli analyst Andrew Rassweiler. "Sony is one step ahead of us and probably has plans to re-spin the hardware to reduce the costs yet again," he says.
So they really are just pulling numbers out of no where for 2009.

Nice, so it's on track to make a profit within 3 years of release just like the 360.
Yup. If it actually happens, will be good news for Sony. And with that was my point proven right.
Actually you disproved your point, because your argument is narrow-sighted and doesn't look at costs as they go down.
