Realistically, is there any announcement Sony could make to make up for FF?

Right, firstly, FFXIII coming out on the 360 is a huge annoucement, but we need to be realistic here.  It's not as if it was announced that FFXIII was now coming out ONLY on the 360, or that it was a timed exclusive for the 360 first and foremost.

Secondly, this game is easily 12 months away anyway.  And going by reports, the Japan PS3 exclusive version will be out first, before any localisation is done for the Western Audience and then the 360 version will be started.

But saying all this....this has created a bit of a panic with Sony gamers.  It's just came out of nowhere and has rocked the foundations Playstation has with SE.  Although we could have seen it happening with Last Remnant, Unfinite Discovery and Star Ocean going to the 360 first and foremost.

Also, don't expect KH3 to be a PS3 exclusive either....it seems that SE has forgotten about the PS brand for a bit.

Sony will have to counter this explosion with something really big.  Who knows what though.  There's no way they'll get Gears 2.

I think they will need to just bombard the audience with footage from all their upcoming games and throw in a few new titles like TRICO and Uncharted 2/Jax 4.

One thing that is for sure, is that Sony will now need to tie up exclusivity by paying for it themselves, otherwise it will be lost.
