Firstly, I understand why so many people are up in arms over this. And they have a right to be. Sony certainly isn't dead yet, but they are on the ground and bleeding. If current media and gaming trends continue, we may see ALL PS3 exclusives on 360. If PS3 does indeed fail, then Sony will be looking for ways to recover at least some of thier money. Obviously, they would port thier 1st party games over to 360 and likely the Wii. Although I'm not sure there is anything gamers can do to stop it except convince as many people as possible to purchase a PS3, I believe the current petition is self defeating.
There are 2 possibilities:
1) They change thier minds and make DMC4 exclusive again - This would be a huge financial loss for them and they may discontinue the franchise all together.
2) They do not change thier minds.
In either situation, PS3 looks very bad. I realize that petitioners are using the civil defense excuse for their reason for signing, but to the public it looks like a desperate plea for survival. I believe it is sending a message to the gaming community that this exclusive loss is close to a final blow to Sony and will further thier problem with bad press.
The only positive thing I can personally think of as a means for PS3 fans to fight for Sony's survival is to simply stop concerning themselves with any 360 affairs and to only discuss PS3 strong points.
