Well it certainly has an efect on the Xbox, the sales are rising in Japan. In the west? Barely an effect at all, only FF XIII has some effect (people that no longer need to buy a PS3 for the game).

It isn't a problem, they received money from MS which compensates for the low sales. But, MS won't keep buying their timed exclusivity forever, which is very bad for the RPG genre.
But, they are very successful on 'boycotting' the PS3. If the PS3 had all those RPG's, it would be selling a lot more in Japan;
