The Playstation 3 has little focus on the library, and a lot of focus on the hardware. Adopting the old Field of Dreams philosophy if you build it they will come. What they built however was overpriced, over engineered, and finally gutted. Almost no thought was given as to why third parties should stay loyal. Sony really took the developers for granted, and Microsoft made them pay for that. That is the answer to the question.
With regards to often cited well it will be ported to the PS3 later. That sword cuts both ways unless Sony is producing a role playing game its equally likely to be ported to the 360 at a later date. Which also does not address the issue of Mistwalker which was backed financially by Microsoft. Which will be a perpetual tie breaker if nothing else. The PS3 is never going to see a Mistwalker role playing game. The PS3 is never going to see Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Cry On, or the other three Mistwalker projects currently in production.
Personally I just take exclusivity as fact until stated otherwise. You cannot build a fair analysis on hope and a prayer. That is the worst kind of spin doctoring. Just say what is at the moment, and work with that.
