I don't really think so, but it certainly will hurt them. It'll have a bigger hardware sales/software sales boost for Sony than it will for Microsoft but I can't have imagined many 360 owners purchasing PlayStation 3's for this game when it was PS3 exclusive, although it will be a nice thing for them to now check out the game/franchise on their platform.
I think PS3 fans were more annoyed and angered rather than 360 owners getting excited about the game, which goes to show exactly how the pendulum swings on this particular franchise. It's an interesting paradox, PS3 owners bought their console hoping for JRPG's and 360 owners believed they'd get little and couldn't care less hence of their platform choice. And look where we are today! Hardly anything on the PS3 but 360 owners getting more than they asked for, and arguably, more than they care for whereas PS3 fans are pulling their hair over Square Enix's hypocrisy over Star Ocean 4's anonymity on Sony's platform.
I think Sony made some hurtful decisions in their designing of the PS3 short-term, hence their install base, but might, might, be a blessing in disguise in the future. Only time will tell. They have alot to do.
