Seems like to me, exclusives for the 360 and PS3 are going the way of the dodo. The way current games are selling, third parties won't favor one console over the other. They will concentrate on multi-platorm titles which pretty much wipes out the advantages one console may have over the other.

 

 Actually its the Third party exclusive is what going bye bye. MGS4, FF13 FFv13 and TeKKen could posible be the last of that dieing breed. 

 

First Party games will have to carry most the Destinctivness from now on. Nintendo has the most talented first party, Sony has the larges First party, MS has money to throw around to keep some third party games as first party (NG2, Gears, LO, Halo spin-off 1,2,3) by publishing.

I think part of the reason games like FF can stay exclusives so far is that they make half of their sales in Japan and 360 has totally failed there.

That and FF is such a huge franchise that by itself it can convince part of the gamer base to buy the platform it runs on...( doesn't mean they woudn't sell more if they were on 360 ).

You have to wonder how much kickback from Msft or Sony third party exclusive get too ( probably lower royalty and probably a lot of free marketing/advertising which for those game is not a negligible part of the cost) because a game like FF is probably loosing 2 million or so of sales by staying on PS3 only..( provided XIII sells like XII).
