Ace Combat 6 on PS3 in 2008?

The rumor mills were spinning today when scans of the latest PSM3 magazine revealed that Ace Combat 6 would be released on the Playstation 3 in 2008. Playstation was the exclusive home to the previous five iterations in the flying combat series, but the past game was an Xbox 360 "exclusive", being released this past fall to better than expected sales in Japan (The 360 beat the PS3 in weekly console sales in the region during the first week of the game's release).

It is possible that this could have been a misprint by the publisher of the magazine, but with the high development costs of next-gen games and the decline of 3rd party exclusives this generation it would only make sense for Microsoft to have an exclusive window of about 6-12 months for a title. If this is true, I expect to see Ace Combat return to the Playstation family in the late summer of 2008.
