How much time did you spend thinking about this one?
1) game developers can design a game not based around production values, just like modern PC exclusive games
2) why would MS be in a worse position than Sony? Their games sell bucketloads and they don't suffer from cashflow problems..
I'm thinking more about how long it'd take for the game to come out in console. For example I believe both Sony and Nintendo (first party)already preparing game for their next gen. While I still hadn't hear any third party or first party from MS so far.
What I'm afraid of is MS dependence on third party -> third party game took long enough to come out -> resulted in barren amount of game for Xbox (at least in the initial year).
