I think I would have expected MGS4 and Tekken 6 to go multiplatform before expecting to see FFXIII land on 360. It just goes to show you how far Microsoft has come in one generation.
Still, the news is too late to really do the damage. If this would have happened last year, it would have been near-fatal to Sony in America. But with an expected release date at the tail end of this console cycle...its just not gonna have the impact it could have had.
It will help Microsoft in the long term though. Sony's new first-party IP have done well, but none have hit a "killer app" level of popularity/excitement the way MGS4 and FFXIII did, and the 3rd party games are still the ones to wish and wait for. If this doesn't change, Sony will slowly lose its ground on the game front.
