What's, in effect, the dumping here is the contradiction we've been seeing lately. 3rd party developers are looking to go Multiplatform when they've originally been exclusive to Sony platforms - they justify this for financial reasons. Fair enough. Sony reluctantly accepts and focuses investment on internal studios, whilst they see a generation of hardly any exclusives.
Now we see probably the most staunchest of 3rd party developers, the largest in fact, pretty much give +14 million customers the middle finger with this Mass Effect exclusivity. If we're talking about cash here, as they all do, then that makes no financial sense.
So why is it okay for them to leave the PS3 for one reason, and then that reason being completely irrelevant or invalid when it comes to the Xbox 360?
If more developers start ignoring the economic factors and turning into hypocrites, then it'll effectively being an industry wide betrayal towards Sony because of their platform.
