The director (Katsuhiro Harada) of the project sought out to explain himself, saying that with the game being released on both console, even more people will be able to enjoy the game.
Personally, I think this sad news. Yes, I understand that its pretty pricey to develop games nowadays, and if you can spread your game over a wider console base, you could make more money. But there was a time when exclusives made your console decision. There was a time when you could sit down and say "Which console is better? Well, lets see who has what games." Now its turned into "Which console is better? Well, who has the better controller?"
This has led me to believe that Sony has nothing up their sleeves anymore, not like the old days. The only games that they have going for themselves (if THOSE don't turn multiplatform as well) are Resistance, Killzone, and LittleBigPlanet. Are these enough to push consoles and make them more money? Can those games finally put a stop to Sony being pussies? Man up Sony, hold on to those titles. Final Fantasy, Devil May Cry, Tekken, these were the reasons why you chose PlayStation! Now what do we have? Nothing. Xbox is clearly winning this, and I really do think that Sony has to pull something out of their asses by the end of the year to really be on top.
Now, if you excuse me, I need to go cry in a corner and slit my wrists.
