Of course they are surprised they lost their biggest exclusive game but on the other hand maybe sony should have secure ff13 instead.

GT5.

 

FF13 is (was?) a lot more hyped than GT5. Maybe not bigger saleswise, but I doubt a GT5 multiplatform announcement would have the impact FF13 multiplatform does for fans.

 

In the end - M$'s steal is more like a slap in the face than a serious financial blow, and GT5 is an eternal exclusive... in the end what matters to the companies are the sales, and GT5 will provide more than all the FF sales combined.

 

Maybe, but you don't get it, right now is more about the image and perception of the console... loosing a couple of big exclusives hurts the image of the console... yeah the PS3 have another exclusives but the damage is done... (Ask Nintendo about the N64 days)...

 

Yes, true... but I don't see a way to prevent it save for making them all first party games.
