Exclusives would flourish on one side as well as the other.
Is it good overall for gamers? Probably not. I have nothing against exclusives, but Imo a healthy market is mostly dominated by multiplateforms and gamers being able to find their favorite franchises on their console of choice, while having signature exclusives that confort them in their choice (e.g. Halo/ GeoW for 360, GT5/ GoW for PS3).
Sports on PS3 would be a big hit though, but again I just don't see that takeover happening.

I'm with you.
But imagine if it did happen and Blizzard moved towards the Sony camp, they would probably release another WoW expansion where you could play your character on the PS3.
