Sony: Final Fantasy XIII Exclusivity "Under Discussion"

In an interview with French news site DNA, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe vice president says that Final Fantasy XIII's exclusivity to PlayStation 3 is under discussion:

Enfin, pour Final Fantasy XIII, je peux vous dire que l'exclusivité est en discussion.

Finally, for Final Fantasy XIII, I can tell you that exclusivity is being discussed.

I'm sure Fornay thought this was a positive statement to be making (the site was grilling him about PS3's lessening supply of exclusive games), but this is the first I've heard that suggests that FFXIII is anything but exclusive -- and from no less a personage than a high-ranking Sony exec.
