Originally revealed exclusively for the PlayStation 3 in 2005, Tekken 6 joins the brawling fray on the Xbox 360 late next year. Released in Japanese arcades on November 26, 2007, Tekken 6 marks the first time the famed fighter will find itself on a Microsoft console. No other details have been announced.
[Update: Tekken 6 on the Xbox 360 will include the Bloodline Rebellion update that recently went live in Japanese arcades which introduces two new characters, Alisa Boskonovich and Lars Alexanderson.]

Another purchased exclusive.
We will probably see similar news in further iterations of 3rd party MS exclusives. Bioshock 2 & Mass Effect 2 come to mind.

Alas, the last of the SONY exclusives that I was ever interested in will be on The Ol' Box.

All I need now is MGS4 on the 360 and I'm pretty set and won't rebuy a PS3. And I'm saying this as a Sony/PS3 fanboy!

This game was the only reason I was going to get a ps3. I might blow it on a wii instead and continue enjoying my big white noisy box.

Wow now that tekken is on 360 there is offically no reason for me to want a ps3 (besides MGS4:(
Microsoft has got alot of the games that are on the ps3 and more exclusives not to mention the 360 is cheaper.
How can the ps3 even compete anymore?

Trust me when I tell u. MGS4... overrated! Played it, beat it, put it right back where I got it from. Story is too long, they speak soo sloooow. The same back story for all bosses. Cutscenes are ridiculously long. I had high hopes for the game. Play it, you'll see. Anyway, another lost exclusive for Sony. I could see the ps3fanboys going crazy over this.

One way they can compete? (at least for my own personal wants)
Three words.
God of War.
I may have to get a ps3 if there is a new GoW coming out on it....

It's stated to be released on Playstation 3 2009 spring, Xbox gets it half a year later.
Not to mention Playstation 3 still has games like : Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, God of War 3, Gran Turismo 5, Resistance 2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Motorostorm 2 : Pacific Rift and so on.
Games what need little mentioning are : White Knight Story, Naruto Ultimate Ninja, Valkyrie Chornicles, Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2 and games like this.
Also, Sony has confirmed to announce 11 NEW Playstation 3 exclusives on TGS. + 3 NEW games for PSP.
Just because Xbox360 is getting Tekken 6 half a year later doesn't mean much. People who want it will get PS3 version eventually.

Thats not what joystiq says:
they said "The sixth installment in the series – which has been a PlayStation mainstay since the original launched in 1995 – was expected to continue console exclusivity on PS3. It will, instead, ship for both consoles simultaneously."
sorry. looks like its getting pushed back just for 360.

I kind of pity sony, although they have an amazing lineup this holiday season, it seems like microsoft is buying up all their old exclusives

people should have seen this coming when VF5 and DMC4 left it's exclusivity chamber. anyway more people that get to play awesome games the better. doesn't look good for the PS3's image tho.

Personally I'm all for the death of the 3rd party exclusive.

Why? With dedicated blueray players at $250 now, and maybe even as low as $199 when the holiday deals come around, there is no reason to buy a $400 PS3 just for blueray anymore.
