Leakers have started backtracking on Xbox Exclusive Rumors:

Tom from TheVerge says
"I just wanna make it very clear that most folks in Xbox don't know the full details of what Microsoft will discuss next week. So people that are backtracking on certain stuff never really knew either."
Meanwhile NateTheHate says the same thing
"I do want to emphasize that though I heard similar, one should still treat this as rumor.
As noted above, I didn't want to report on it until a release window was finalized -- meaning plans remain open to change.
MS will bring select games multiplat. That I have confidence in"
"I will admit phrasing was poor on the original tweet.
I think discussions were had about taking it multiplat -- hence the reports/rumor. Given the very early reporting & public response, such conversations may have been revisited.
I have no lead to suggest one way or the other"
"People are making wild assumptions that EVERY game is going multiplat -- which is not the case.
Nor is MS going to exit the hardware industry.
The multiplat strategy is a slight shift in strategy, in which SOME titles go multiplat. MS will keep high profile games exclusive."
