Hah, I called it.

Its not developed or published by Sony, Activision is not motivated to make Sony exclusives, AND the IP would be available to a bigger audience as a multiplat.

Wonder how long the exclusivity is for, I want this on X1.

The 3 games being remastered are still published and owned by Sony though. And the IP has been kinda shitty since it became multiplatform, so it's not always a great thing for success. 

I could see a later release on PC as part of the deal with Activision (Sony themselves published a couple of games on Steam IIRC), but it would be weird for Sony to agree with an Xbox or Switch release. 

Anyway, the first tweet by Playstation Ireland wasn't a good proof of exclusivity, this one isn't a good proof for non-exclusivity either. Let's wait and see. 

If this remaster comes to any other console, then Sony may not own anything. If anything, maybe Sony owns the PS1 ROMs but still needs licensing from Activision to sell them.

The IP didn't get bad because of multiplat, that makes no sense. As if ports somehow dilutes the enjoyment. Exclusvies can be bad games as well.

If there was no chance of this coming to Xbox and Switch, Sony would say it. They made that clear with Street Fighter V.
