No way. Losing GTA4 exclusivity is way worse than losing DQX and MH3. GTA:SA sold 18M last generation. DQVIII sold about 4M worldwide. MH does crap on consoles.
Having GTA4 exclusive would have meant they would have thrashed the 360 in NA and Europe this generation (and possible beat the Wii in Europe). Losing GTA4 exclusivity means that the PS3 will find it hard to come a clear second in America.
Losing DQX isn't as bad because the PS3 still has FFXIII and FFvsXIII. If you look at sales, there isn't much difference between DQ and FF sales in japan, but FF is just as strong outside of Japan. FFXIII means that the PS3 will be able to sell respectable numbers in Japan, but losing GTA4 exclusivity means the PS3 has lost a lot of sales.
