[QUOTE=Max the Mug]OWI are still bound by contract to produce two Xbox exclusive titles. I doubt any break down of publishing relationship will nullify that deal, QUOTE]

As it says in the Lorne and Sherry Q&A
http://www.oddworld.com/oddworld/com...ants4_bio.html

"We can say we have committed to developing the next 4 titles in the Oddworld franchise with MS"

Which I interpret as meaning that they were contracted to publish 4 games with Microsoft. And if Microsoft are publishing it means it will be Xbox exclusive.

Now that they are no longer bound by contract to Microsoft they would not have to be Xbox exclusive. But I think they will be anyway as they have said repeately that they love programming for the Xbox. Maybe they would do a PC port (as the Xbox is similar to a PC) but I get the impression that after Stranger is finished they just want to make more games as quickly as they can rather that fiddle with converting old games over
