The labels are quite easily explained as "it's a sales trick". For the people who aren't either more informed than the average dude, or the blatant fanboys of other platforms, they go into a shop and see these labels. It states at the time that you can't play the games on other platforms. Correct me if I'm wrong, whilst several of these games later became multiplat, when released, all the labels were accurate. Which is the point. Games like Bioshock and Lost Planet prove the worth of the label. Both well past the "million seller" milestone, they've already done the business for MS and the 360. The fact that Lost Planet came out much later on PS3 and sold nothing like the 360 numbers underlines it.

also ppl have to stop saying about infinite undiscovery maybe coming to the ps3, ms owns the ip.

As others stated: It's either timed exlusive or permanent. MS needs to change the label.

Bioshock said only for PC and 360 right on the top. It is now coming out for the PS3, but near a year later.

Gears of War came out for the PC over a year later.

Mass Effect said 360 only but came out for the PC a year later.

Dead Rising and Lost Planet both came out for other systems OVER a year later.

Amped 3, PGR4, Halo 3, Wartech and Earth Defense Force are still exclusive.

Contrary to what people say, my release copy of Eternal Sonata never had a "Only For" logo and was/still is exclusive for near a year.

Hey, if your willing to wait a year for a game more power to you. But I wish MS would change their rule on "Only for" 360 when most come out for other systems.

Im guessing Star Ocean will be exclusive for a year or more.

Here are the current "exclusives" for the 360 right now (console AND PC wise):

• America's Army: True Soldier (Console version)
  
• Amped 3
• Banjo-Kazooie
• Beautiful Katamari (Wii version never released yet)

So console "exclusives" are harder to find on the 360 unless they are first party. That seems to be the case these days. As always any of these titles can get ported later on.

Sorry to break your hopes and dreams, but no, it is not. It was speculation by Famitsu that since 360 and Wii had gotten their own Tales of-games, PS3 might get one - But Namco later confirmed that their next Tales of-title is planned for the Wii.

Part of the reason for this is Tri Ace doesn't like Sony atm because it had trouble developing Star Ocean 3 correctly (it didn't run right on some PS2 consoles, since its one of the ONLY games that had the problems the original release of SO3 had I blame Tri Ace which has never been an A list developer anyway). This means that they may very well not make a PS3 version, though if SO4 ends up just another 7.0 game like Infinate Undiscovery I don't think thats a world ender at all.

It's about dividing Square and Enix. Square was a developer, Enix was a publisher so in the case of a game like FFXIII or a new Kingdom Hearts that is a square game, but in the case of something like Infinate Undiscovery or Star Ocean they're just publishing for Tri Ace. Square games will almost certainly come out on PS3 in all cases (except handheld games obviously), while Enix published games can go anywhere (and are usually inferior in quality to Square games, I can think of 20 A list Square games but have a hard time thinking of even a handful from Enix pre merger). I wish they had never merged, Square was 100x better before Enix happened.

Yups Bioschock also had that seal:

Does it mean Star Ocean 4 will also be on PS3?  No.

Does it  mean Star Ocean 4  will only be on Xbox 360 for sure?  No.

it will don't worry. :P

The same happened with re4 it had the only for gamecube but it was later ported for the ps2.

SO3 has trouble runing on some of the PS2s because Tri-Ace didn't properly test for bugs due to the at the time upcoming merger with Square and Enix. Oh and about those 20 A list Square games. I assume 15 of those were released during the SNES and PS1 eras

SO4 will get better reviews than IU.  I can garentee it.  Better graphics, more polished gameplay=review scores in between 8.0 and 9.0

Hey i'm not saying that PS3 has nothing to look for (Versus definitely is still appealing... but is stuck alone with a $400 backpack), I'm saying that high profile RPGs (tales and SOIV) jumping ships will make it so Die Hard RPG fans will get an Xbox, especially because of the price drops that make the arcade cheap. They may still get PS3s later but considering these high profile games and the loz 360 price, they will go for it.

(and no, free online, Blue Ray and DLC don't matter much for RPGs... an extra dungeon isn't all that wooping ^^, but 1 year head start at the game is nice enough to pay)
