@Obliterator: I don't think "exclusivity" means what you think it does. They aren't lying if they say something (FFXIII, for instance) is PS3 exclusive and then later announce that it's going multiplat. Something is exclusive until it no longer is, and exclusivity usually isn't set in stone unless it's first party or something.

But if Square-Enix is such a shady enterprise, why even bother with them? Write them off and move on.

This is what I think it means...limiting or limited to possession, control, or use by a single individual or group.

Same could be said about your argument about the 360 version of the ps3 holding it back...

 

I rather think it means that it's finalized as coming to one platform only. Gears of War 2, for instance, is an Xbox 360 exclusive. But I fully expect that like Gears, it'll go to PC in about a year's time. At which point it will no longer be a 360 exclusive.

So, for a time, FFXIII was coming only to the PS3. Even if Square is talking with Microsoft about a 360 version, they can't very well announce something that might not come to fruition. I would agree that they were lying if they had been expressly saying all along it would never come to the Xbox 360; otherwise, it's just a change of plans due to sluggish PS3 sales.
