Final Fantasy XIII Not Yet A PS3 Exclusive??? News

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe France boss reveals that discussions are underway to make Final Fantasy XIII a PlayStation 3 exclusive...
Despite a number of previously exclusive PlayStation 3 titles jumping into the realm of multi-platform status (including Mercenaries 2: World in Flames and Devil May Cry 4), Square-Enix's Final Fantasy XIII is one game that you'd assume would be sewn up for the next-gen system. However, in an interview with newspaper Les Dernières Nouvelles d'Alsace, the head of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe in France, Georges Fornay, suggests that this isn't the case...yet.
In the report, which comes just a day before PlayStation 3 makes a belated debut in Europe, Fornay said, "Enfin, pour Final Fantasy XIII, je peux vous dire que l'exclusivité est en discussion [Lastly, for Final Fantasy XIII, I can say to you that exclusiveness is under discussion]."
Square-Enix has announced in the last couple of months that they'd licensed Unreal Engine 3 for future titles (perhaps for the new Final Fantasy title said to be unveiled in May?), though Final Fantasy XIII is currently in development with the proprietary White Engine - which has recently been revealed as being 'open platform'.
For now, Final Fantasy XIII remains a PlayStation 3 exclusive, but if it were to become a multi-platform title, it would leave Konami's Metal Gear Solid 4 as one of the last big third-party titles to stand exclusively in the PS3 camp.
