It is a very problematic statment but not necessarily because of what it means for particular games (Metal Gear Solid or Final Fantasy). To me, what this means is that (as many people have predicted for months) third party developers are making it known to Microsoft and Sony that the sales of the XBox 360 and PS3 do not justify exclusive third party support.

For Microsoft this ends up being a pretty big victory being that, unlike the XBox, the 360 will get a version of most of the major third party games that appear on the PS3; and the XBox 360 is already cheaper, with a larger library, which makes it more attractive to gamers.

For Sony this is a pretty big loss being that, unlike the PS2, the PS3 is far behind their competition and will likely have no exclusive 'big guns' to fight back with.
