Other than Devil May Cry and Virtua Fighter, last I checked most of those were multi-platform from the beginning, never announced as exclusives, so I wouldn't call them lost per se. Long as we're counting, didn't 360 lose exclusivity on Saint's Row?

And rumors are that Metal Gear 4 is coming to the 360 as well too.

It looks like Sony is losing exclusives left and right.

There's also rumors that Elvis got kidnapped by aliens.

Those rumors are old news, nothing's been proven. And my money's on them and Final Fantasy 13/Vs13 staying on PS3.

RPGs like the main FF series have tended to be single-platform; there's more trouble involved with porting them over. For it to be done, there has to be sufficient reason to think the new userbase is big enough. Game Arts justified it with moving Lunar and Grandia to the PS.

Speaking of userbase, Final Fantasy's biggest spot is still Japan, and there is simply no consumer interest in 360 there. That's why it's unlikely to get ported.
