This all reeks of pure financial sense. As stated in various posts already, 3rd-party exclusives are basically dead (except when held by contract, and money has exchanged hands). It just doesn't make financial sense anymore. The PS3 and 360 are close enough in ability to make this possible - and its great for gamers. No longer should you have to purchase a console to play a specific game (except for a few) - now you can buy a console based on the one you want, and play the games you want. The DMC announcement doesn't really affect Japan - it may result in the sales loss of a few PS3's (short term anyway). But its much more important in the US/Europe - where more and more gamers will decide/realise that a 360 *is* actually good enough - and that if they have one, they don't need a PS3. Now it really is up to exclusives to sell consoles (and I personally think Sony has the weakest portfolio there). (also note that this doesn't really apply to the Wii - as its different enough to not really be 360 or PS3 compatible). PS - anyone else see this comment from Capcom:
