Quote snippet:
"And we both know the sales need to pick up, pronto--especially if Sony wants to keep third party interest. Already third party executives are telling me that if PS3 sales stay below 100k for 3 consecutive months, PS3 SKUs may start disappearing from release lists and in turn create a wealth of de-facto exclusives for the Xbox 360. Sony could stem the tide by supporting third parties financially with co-marketing for exclusivity (or even buying an exclusive window on a game), but I continue to hear tales of Sony expressing a lack of interest in securing third party exclusives."

This blog news is from...

and Geoff Keighley - A renowned gaming journalist.

Looks like Sony's PS3 is in far more trouble than you guys think, and with the summer coming (Petrified console sales/game release time) the PS3 is dead in the heat!

this is hilarious...because I'm surprised you'd even believe keighley (who was providing editorials for OXM for at least a year).. if it were reversed and keighley said this about the xbox 360, you'd point something like this out..

Like what out... That he USE to write for OXM?

It's the info they give that makes it all clear to even the most ignorant people.... However, some like to put their own spin in.
