The point of a game being exclusive, it's that it stays exclusive for the time to come. Titles like Bioshock, Lost Planet and Dead Rising are not exclusive, especially when the developers are Third parties developers and they're aiming to release the game and/or the sequel on another console (PS3... umh!! Not a bad idea). The GTA series is a proof of that. It was a temporary exclusivity that changed the market forever.

The only exclusives that we should see on the market nowadays should be the games made by First party studios (Sony: Team Ico, Naughty Dog, Guerilla Games,etc. and Microsoft:Turn 10 Studios, Lionhead Studios, etc). Also, a temporary exclusivity doesn't make a game exclusive to a specific console, either it is the PS3 or the 360. Having a PS3 put me asides when games likes Mass Effect are released for a single console (including the PC... !!). Mass Effect (1 & 2) and Alan Wake should be praised for their production quality. But what I heard from the people who bought AW, the backgrounds may be astonishing, the dialogs well written, but the story is so-so, the render of the characters could have been better, especially on the 360 (that machine got some serious graphical power... !!), and spending about 70-80$ for about 15 hours that can be completely done in one playthrough it's not worth it. They said it's the best rental you could ever make.
