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

with MS's track record in consideration - how the hell did they keep this a secret? i feel like i got hit by a train.

I think MS was too busy keeping this a secret to even bother with anything else. Then again, some of the rumors, like the X-Mote didn't end up happening anyways.

Realistically?

No ...

The big three exclusive third party titles for the PS2 were Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy and Grand Theft Auto being that there were multiple versions that all sold in the 5 Million range. Microsoft has (effectively) stolen two of these games from Sony. There (really) is no game that Sony could announce which would have a similar impact to Microsoft announcing this.

This was the biggest surprise of the year, but do you think Sony didn't know what would be annouced today?

I don't own a PS3 or 360, but I can't believe Sony would allow losing FFXIII exclusiveness without a big counter-announcement tomorrow.

No, I don't think there is anything they can announce. I mean shocking doesn't describe FFXIII hitting 360.

a remake of an old game (FF 7) would not topple this announcement, it would just be a nice bonus for fans.

That's like saying if Microsoft got the next Legend of Zelda, a remake of OoT for Wii would be a better comeback.
