Sony obviously knew about this, and obviously SE would have had to work something out between both Sony and MS for this to happen. Only one outcome makes financial sense to all three:
* Square-Enix ditches all exclusivity from their PS3-360 lineup. (++money for them)
* MS gets FF13 (++money for them)
* Sony gets everything else MS had as an exclusive from SE... SO4, LR, maybe KH3, etc. (++money for them)
I call it a wash. Except for us gamers... woot!
Here's the odd thing... Sony still appears to have FF13 exclusivity in Japan. Obviously the 360 isn't doing well there, but... this is what hints, to me, that Square Enix is the primary motivating force behind this change. They don't see any real benefit to producing an X360 Japanese version -- so they aren't going to.
