The only game people say the quality went down is Final Fantasy 13, and Square Enix did mention that they wanted to keep it on two discs when porting it to the 360, so who knows whether they cut a lot of the game out or not. It was over a year before the Japanese release that it was announced to be ported to the 360, who knows how much longer they were working on the idea?
That being said. The gameplay wasn't good anyways, so regardless what they may or may not have cut out didn't matter. Final Fantasy 13 would have been crap anyways. So yeah.

I don't care if games are multiconsole because as long as they're good games, there's the chance we'll get other games in the future that are also good. Multiconsole titles allow more people to play these titles and give the developers more money because they're not only getting money from one console of consumers but two. There's no benefit for third party developers to keep their games exclusive unless their games can't be developed for the other system or if it's known that these games won'tsell on another system, or they're getting paid to stay exclusive.
At the same time, exclusives are good for the console developers since it shows that their system is the more go to system for people interested in a wider variety of software. The third party developers who make games exclusively might not be getting as much of a profit if the game was multiconsole, but doesn't mean that doesn't help the console developer.
The only PS2 exclusive franchise I'm upset about Microsoft getting on the 360 is Tales of Vesperia, and that's because it's exclusive and hasn't come to the PS3 in the US. I used to own a 360 for a short period of time but sold it off. With most of the games available on both systems, I'm not really interested in purchasing the 360 for the few exclusives I'm interested in. Gears, Skyrim(PS3 version sucks,) Forza Horizon, Lost Odyssey, and Tales of Vesperia.
