They're just making sure people know that the franchise is no longer synonymous with the Playstation. Just like what they did with Grand Theft Auto 4, Resident Evil 5, and all the other great franchises that were once Playstation exclusives (or at least closely associated with the Playstation brand).

Got to hand it to Microsoft, they've done an amazing job of getting all the great third party games on Xbox 360 and breaking what was once Sony's iron grip on third parties. It's amazing to have come from the Xbox which played second fiddle when it did manage to get a major third party title (usually delayed for months if we got them at all) to now having the console that gets them day and date or sometimes months (or longer) before PS3.

none of those franchises were ever exclusive to playstation though. resident evil has always been on nintendo consoles. resident evil 4 was a timed gamecube exclusive. metal gear had already been on gamecube and xbox, and it started on nintendo, just like final fanstasy started on nintendo. nintendo also has other final fantasy spin offs and final fantasy 11 has been on the 360 for years now.

the only reason most people consider them "synonymous with the playstation" is because for the most part, that's the system people owned and played those games on.

the game peaked on the playstation, it's the one sold more and sells more it looks like continueing with the ps3. 1.5 million in a single weak in a single region, crazy.
