 There are many reasons why EA/Bioware should take the release of the first Mass Effect game into serious consideration and I think we PS3 owners should keep asking both Sony and EA/Bioware until we get the game.

-Mass Effect is a trilogy, and every all the games should be available on the platform of choice without leaving the story crippled.

-PS3 owners don’t have the chance to play the whole story and grow affection to characters.
An interactive comic is unfortunately not enough to understand what fighting a Reaper on the Citadel means or how much of a threat the Rachni species was, for example.

-The PS3 owners are very supportive of the franchise, buying almost 1 millions of copies of Mass Effect 2 at retailers (plus digital copies) and near half a million copies of Mass Effect 3 at retailers (plus digital copies) only in the first week.
Numbers that doesn’t compare to the number of copies sold on XBOX360, but Mass Effect 2 was released WITHOUT Mass Effect 1 and 1 year after the release of Mass Effect 2.
Sales of Mass Effect 2 on PS3 close in on established and similar EA franchises on the PS3 like Dead Space. (During first week Mass Effect 3 moved more copies than Dead Space 2)

-A masterpiece is timeless, the release date doesn’t matter, as the recent release of HD ports clearly shows.
PS3 gamers are usually a fanbase that doesn’t rush to buy day one, but buys constantly and is fond of great games experiences.

-A complete trilogy could fuel the sales for Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 since some gamers are on the fence on the idea of buying a game without knowing/playing the whole story. It’s obvious that a minimum number of sales will be granted by the fanbase that bought Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3-The game assets (voice-overs, translations, 3D models, soundtrack) and Engine is already up and working meaning not great investments from EA/Bioware, but turning out to be good profits.

-The eventual exclusives deals are not everlasting and expires.
Ninja Gaiden 2 was released on XBOX 360 published by Microsoft, but ended up on PS3 too.
The PC version of Mass Effect clearly shows on the box sleeve that the intellectual property of Mass Effect is copyrighted by EA International/Bioware”

As you see as proof, this is the sleeve of Ninja Gaiden 2 for XBOX360, published by Microsoft then released on PS3 too

The copyrights of Mass Effect are fully in control of EA International and Bioware.
So the point of Microsoft rights don't exist.
And exclusive rights are never perpetual.

Just a little quote about what exclusive rights are

In Anglo-Saxon law, an exclusive right[/b] is a de facto, non-tangible prerogative existing in law (that is, the power or, in a wider sense, right) to perform an action or acquire a benefit and to permit or deny others the right to perform the same action or to acquire the same benefit. A "prerogative" is in effect an exclusive right. The term is restricted for use for official state or sovereign (i.e., constitutional) powers. Exclusive rights are a form of monopoly.Exclusive rights can be established by law or by contractual obligation, but the scope of enforceability will depend upon the extent to which others are bound by the instrument establishing the exclusive right; thus in the case of contractual rights, only persons that are parties to a contract will be affected by the exclusivity.Exclusive rights may be granted in property lawcopyright lawpatent law, in relation to public utilities, or, in some jurisdictions, in other sui generis legislation. Many scholars argue that such rights form the basis for the concepts of property and ownership.Privately granted rights, created by contract, may occasionally appear very similar to exclusive rights, but are only enforceable against the grantee, and not the world at large.
