I think that people take news of software companies moves to other platforms as a leading indicator of a company's fortunes, when it is in fact merely a reflection of the current environment. As Sony gets its act in gear, look for more and more exclusive PS3 titles.
It's terrible news for Sony because it means that it lost another exclusive series. The Devil May Cry series, like the GTA series, called the Playstation it's home. So instead of being a reason to get a PS3, it's now a game that you can get on the 360, which is a cheaper system and in more homes.
As for the reflection of current environment argument. There's truth to fact that rising dev costs are pushing more games multi platform. But there are still plenty of third party console exclusive games. Right now they seem to be finding their home on the 360 and Wii.
The PS2 was the home to third party exclusives because of it's large sales base. The PS3 just isn't going to have the same sales base and is bleeding exclusives because of it.
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
