Well one of the XBOX 360's key franchises moves to multiplatform , the problem with depending on third part developers for exclusivity is that the future of the franchise on any platform is purely dependant on sales potential.
Why should Gears Of War 3, Mass Effect 3 , Star Ocean 4 etc remain exclusive to the XBOX 360 without a money hat ,all games have established fan bases PS3+360 > 360 . Sony can rely more on first party development than MS ( who recently broke up alot of theirs) GT , God Of War , Uncharted , Resistance , Little Big Planet , Ico , Ratchet and Clank , White Knight Chronicles , Getaway & Eightdays(development currently halted though) and so many more existing and new franchises will never be seen on another platform as long as Sony is still making hardware to play it on.

Honestly, Media Molecule were originally going to do a project for the 360 over the PS3 so I think they can work for whoever they want to work for.
Also, Microsoft has the rights to some titles if I remember correctly. I don't think anyone will ever see Forza, Gears of War, Halo, Fable or any Ninja Gaiden installment after II for anything other than 360 (or next console), except for the PC.
I'm a bigger fan of Sony than Microsoft and I do feel Sony has a lot more exclusives coming out. But I also feel that Microsoft does have a decent list as well. That's the joy out of competition like this, the only real winners are the fans.

I don't recall MS owning the rights to Ninja Gaiden or Gears of War , NG Sigma was on the PS3.
