Persona 4 did .82 on ps2
Persona Arena did .48 on ps360 (I know the game is very different, but surely exclusivity would sell an additional 9k copies...which is what 360 sold)
Katamari

Beautiful Katamari is the lowest selling console katamari at .28m
But the ps3 version is only .31m so not a huge loss.

Tomb Raider

So much data
Tomb Raider: the last revelation for ps is the last exclusive TR: 2.48
Fast forward, TR is at 1.51 and Underworld did 2.16
Mind you, TR is the best game in the whole series. It should be doing uncharted numbers.
Almost every game that has gone multiplat from playstation exclusive has decreased in sales, specifically, this happens when titles are announced multiplat before release. Sales tend to break in half, for a variety of reasons.
Once you factor in development costs, these games have likely done a lot worse as multiplats than they did as exclusives.
There is one argument you could give, as in, these games would likely just be halved in sales if they were exclusive. But how could that happen for nearly every single exclusive turned multiplat? It happens to virtually every game.
Like:
http://www.vgchartz.com/gamedb/?name=dead+or+alive&publisher=&platform=&genre=&minSales=0&results=200
Dead or alive 3 (xbox only):1.77m
Dead or alive 4 (360 only): .44m
Dead or alive 5 (ps360): .43m (see how they split?)
Anyone have any more data to share?
