While it's easy to pass off the PS3's decrease in exclusives (and the Wii's unchaged status) on the removal of the "Non-US" section, I think it goes deeper than that.

The Wii has basically two kinds of games: enhanced PS2 ports and exclusive Wii-centric titles that make full use of Nintendo's new control scheme. Some might look at this as a handicap for the Wii, but I see at as a system that is focused on knowing what it wants (a variety of games for all) and going for it.

On the other hand, the PS3 seems to be genuinely losing exclusives. I'm not going to predict gloom and doom less than six months after Sony has launched their next-generation offering. But for gamers looking to the PS3 to supply a gameplay experience that can't be had elsewhere, it's not looking good. And with the constant rumors of Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy XIII jumping to the 360, Sony should be worried and they should be attempting to fix it.

So that’s where we stand today, the Xbox 360 is the current undisputed king of the exclusives, but the game is far from over. It will be interesting to see what these lists look like after the next update. Very interesting indeed.
