Three 360 Titles Lose Exclusivity

This console war has seen a constant back and forth of titles slipping out of exclusivity deals with their announced console, and with the relatively small install base, we’re likely to still see more titles go the multi-platform route. This time though, it’s not the Playstation 3 losing exclusives — it’s the Xbox 360.
Three exclusives have now been announced to go down both sides of the fork in the road: Kane and Lynch, Crossfire, and Eternal Sonata. Although many of the games were never announced solely for the Xbox 360 and PC, they seemed to be under some kind of promotion deal with Microsoft — sort of like how Assassin’s Creed’s debacle unfolded at last year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo.
None of the game’s are a complete detriment to Microsoft’s console, but when it comes to this console war’s frontlines, every single casualty counts.

I thought Kane and Lynch was supposed to be just a next-gen title. I could have sworn I saw it on PS3 lists earlier this year.
