What do you mean?That the collections are exclusive to PS systems, and thus wont be ported?No.If they arent ported, that wont be the reason.

The only reason its listed as only on PS its because of that, Square decided to only make for PS for now, not for some obligation to Sony or something of the sort.I mean, in that collection there are games that were made on Nintendo systems, or at least the cinematic part of it.The same goes for 2.8.

Its listed as Only on Playstation because thats true for the moment.If Square wants to port them over, they will.I mean, look no further than this thread!Nomura himself said that it is possible to release the collection to other systems.It may be PR talk about bringing them, but if he says that there is a possibility, then it means with 100% of certainty that there is no exclusivety deal with Sony with the collections.

Same goes for many japanese games that only release on PS.They arent releasing on other systems because they cant, its simply because at that moment, they choose not to, for a myriad of reasons.

Only on Playstation means that's its an exclusive. If there was a slight chance it was going to be released on any other platform, it would'nt have the "only on playstation" on the cover. Just look at Nioh, that's only available on PS4 as of now, but doesn't have the "Only on Playstation" on the cover, because there hasn't been any exclusivity deals there, so it might still release on another platform.

But thats for the moment.Nioh isnt exclusive because there is a PC version.Putting a "Only on Playstation" is simply a good marketing angle for Sony, but its not because Sony payed or anything for it to be exclusive to PS systems.Or at the very least, its not confirmed or anything.Its simply Square that decided to just make one version, and Sony ran with the exclusive angle.To further clarify and demonstrate that fact, here is a part from the ign article where they interviewed Nomura:

Kingdom Hearts 3 director Tetsuya Nomura says a Nintendo Switch version of Kingdom Hearts 3 or Xbox One versions of the Kingdom Hearts HD I.5 and II.5 ReMix or Kingdom Hearts HD II.8 Final Chapter Prologue collections could be possible in the future, but only after existing versions of Kingdom Hearts 3 are complete.

He says that another version on other systems is possible, thus not only implying, but straight saying that there is no exclusivity deal to PS systems.Hell, 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue contains DDD, which was a 3DS exclusive for many years.See where Im going?So no, the label "Only on Playstation" is not a 100% garantee of exclusivity, especially with the meaning exclusivity got nowadays.
