Nintendo got some of the best games Square and Enix ever made, Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger from Square side and Dragon Quest V and Terranigma from Enix side

OT - Final Fantasy belongs to no one other than it's creators. Fans who enjoy the series, play the games in whatever console they are. FF being in two consoles only mean more people are able to play it. It doesn't void Sony fans to play the games on PS3, so in the end, all of this are just petty discussions. 

Pretty much what I think.

Oh, is that why SONY now arguably has the best and most diverse 1st/2nd party lineup this generation?  Maybe we can blame SONY for working so hard since 3rd party exclusivity isn't guaranteed.

This!

Third parties built Playstation, not Sony. This is what happens when a console gets all its heavy hitters from third parties. It suffers the risk of losing them. FF is even still there so no damage is done really, being a fanboy and hating SE for going multiplat is completely irrational.

Personally I'd say FFIV and CT, but I see where you are coming from.

This gen, Sony finally learned that the defining games for Playstation aren't guaranteed so they have to make thier own. And this gen, they did an OK job. After 3 generations, they finally have decent first party. I'm not overly impressed, but congratulations to them I guess.

That was because Nintendo refused to to switch to the disc drive. Nintendo dropped the ball and Sony ran with it, the only difference here is that Sony has never dropped the ball they invested in the company when they were struggling and have gave them full support. But Microsoft money has a way of changing some peoples minds. So whether or not the game was originally Nintendo's or not does not matter the issue is that the game was promised as a PS3 exclusive. Exclusive would in fact make the game Sony's and theirs only to enjoy thus either don't make exclusivity promises or leave the game only on PS3 and see how the sales compare you can always port it later. 

This is what blows my mind.  When Nintendo was pushed from the leadership position, they lost the games entirely.  At least PS3 is still getting most of the legacy franchises in some fashion.

PS3 fans seemed to pour the hate more on losing exclusives (FFXIII, DMC4, etc) than they do on the few titles they actually lost entirely (MH3, DQIX/X, etc). :/

Seriously (I only read the OP). Final Fantasy has appeared on the PC, Nes, Super Nes, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360, Wonderswan (I didn't know this until I read the OP), Gamecube, PS1, PS2, PSP, and PS3. Just because FF7-FFXII were exclusive, it's like they own the damned thing.

Metal Gear was on multiple systems before the Playstation.
Tomb Raider was on the Sega Saturn before the Playstation.
Namco has been making games for platforms before the Playstation.

Stop it.

At the very least, SONY had pumped so much money in their new and older IP's.  Those funds could have easily locked up "traditional playstation" franchises such as Ace Combat, Tekken, Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy, etc...  And many of SONY IP's do not have a mass appeal which really leads me to believe that it's just not about the almighty dollar, but it's catering to gamers.  But if you have kept up with SONY's 1st/2nd party efforts, you'll know that there are still several successful SONY franchises from past gens that hey haven't released, yet.  Like their games or not, SONY is building.  It shows since they are progessively the best 3rd place console maker of any gen and getting getter.
