Why is FFXIII's multi-plat announcement a death blow to Sony again >_>?

Why it's a big blow?

Not that it's even a question, but here we go (most stuff has of course been said numerous times this evening, but who cares)

1. FF13 was Sony's biggest exclusive game
2. 360 is the HD console of choice in the US, but FF13 was one of the few titles that kept people from buying a 360
3. 360 will now have most JRPG's + the most important JRPG
4. Looking back at GTAIV: People said: "it's a Sony franchise, it will do better on PS3". It didn't in the most important vg market: the US. FF13 will probably sell more on 360 in the US as well, all but guaranteeing that FFvs13 will come to 360 as well. And who knows WKC.
5. The few companies that have PS3 exclusives will probably look at this and change to multiplatform as well

 

White Knight Chronicles IP is owned by Sony, and the game is developed by Level-5 with support from Sony's Japan Studio. And it is published by Sony.
