I strongly suspect misdirection. There are no games right now that have openly declared themselves to be on next-gen platforms, even though the amount of noise we're seeing suggests that both MS and Sony will drop their new boxen before the holidays. They pretty much have to say "360 and PS3", because "next gen consoles" or "unknown platforms" would be a dead giveaway. I expect them to make another announcement next week amending this, after the official unveiling of Sony's new machine.
