Analyst: Rockstar Would Make PS3 Exclusive for 'The Challenge'
Analysts, bless 'em.
While explaining to journalist Brad Nicholson that Activision's multi-platform [Prototype] will sell loads more units (90%) than Sucker Punch's PS3 exclusive inFamous... except on PS3, Electronic Entertainment Design and Research, EEDAR's director of analyst services Jesse Divinich states that:
"Rockstar is a very intrepid developer; they would do a PS3 exclusive and make it profitable just for the challenge."
That's right, not only will [Prototype] outsell inFamous on all platforms except the only platform that inFamous is actually on (to quote the piece, "inFAMOUS is expected to sell between at least 35 to 50 percent more on the PlayStation 3 than Activision’s title.") but Rockstar will create a PS3 exclusive title apparently for gits and shiggles.
We understand this to be true because the analyst takes a punt at how the PS3 Agent exclusive came about, "I do imagine Sony is providing some support on the backend, whether that is financial support or technological support is unknown to the public."
It's got to be said that if we wanted to go to the public rather than get professional, company-based analysis, we'd definitely turn to Matthew Robson (aged 15 years and seven months). We especially love the idea that Rockstar would not only make the game but 'make it profitable' for a challenge.
And we bet that Take-Two's stockholders love that too.

I love Infamous . Is Prototype really any good? Now that I've finished Infamous I'm looking for more - should I bother with Prototype or just go back and redo Infamous as a hero?

@Vertuple If you enjoyed inFamous, there's much to enjoy in Prototype too. It's a similar game, different enough to be worth playing, but alike enough to appeal to those who enjoyed the other game. I personally found inFamous to the the better of the two, basically because the controls were more intuitive. Prototype has more power options, but they do not come as easily to hand. But it is certainly very good.
As for everyone [else] who bathed in shadenfreude (look it up), I bet you've never ever ever made a simple (stupid) mistake in your lives.

My fault entirely... which is even more galling as I spent most of this weekend when not up to my neck in pond water, playing through inFamous again, this time as evil.
My head is bowed in shame - the story has been amended - I have been slapped.
