With most games I'd agree, but Agent sounds to be a different deal. I mean there are rumors that they secured Agent while letting GTA slip. So Sony probably paid quite a bit for Agent, and hopefully learned the importance of locking down an exclusive. Plus it's a new IP, and doesn't sound like a sandbox game. I have doubts it'll take off enough for Microsoft to pay enough $$ for Rockstar to break whatever contract Sony got them in.
Atleast for the first game that is. I'd say anything past the first game is probably fair game.
To tell the truth tho, it's meaning less and less. When Sony can produce games like Uncharted 2, GOW 3, LBP, R&C, Twisted Metal, and so on all internally, and still receive the FF's, Bioshocks, MGS's, Dead Rising's, etc. as multiplats they're in a good place. Sony turned up the heat on securing new first party games, and I think it's a great strategy that'll help them in the long run.
