Final Fantasy XIV will be very important to the gamign industry as it will be the first cross-platform MMO of the online generation. It may help PS3 slightly depending on how long it takes SE to finish talks with Microsoft, timed exclusivity with no set 360 release will help PS3 but it may well come out on PC, PS3 and 360 at the same time. It all depends on how negotiations with Microsoft go.
If it does well then it will shape the way for the future of cross-platform gaming the same way shadowrun and FFXI did, with FFXI making developers and platform holders realise it could be a success and Shadowrun scareing them off again, lol. Theres also DCUniverse Online, The Agent and ALL future SOE title due for release on the PS3 also, cross-platform gameplay is still giving them headaches though.
Once Sony and Microsoft have worked out how to treat MMO developers then MMOs might well be the next big genre to be flooding the console market, until then it's all trial and error with SE leading the way with their second cross-platform MMO.
