GamesRadar: 10 industry-shattering stolen exclusives

The biggest announcement at this year's E3 - that Final Fantasy XIII is going multiplatform - is about more than just a game being available to a wider audience. It's also a clear sign that the topography of the videogame industry has changed a little. While the 360 might not be doing so well in Japan, it's clear that Japanese companies are nevertheless taking Microsoft's console seriously - seriously enough to ditch their all-important exclusivity deals with Sony.

As significant as the FFXIII announcement is, it's hardly the first time a major, major title or series has given up its long-held ties to a single console and experimented with other platforms. And it's not the first time such a decision has had a profound effect on the industry and its fans, either. In fact, GamesRadar can think of a bunch of other examples of a "stolen" exclusive rocking the entire industry - here are the 10 best.
