Or maybe they're afraid their next console will suffer from poor hardware design even after 4 bajillion dollars is put into R&D lol!

In any other industry this would be ridiculous, like buying a movie that you could only watch on your WarnerPlay, Paramountix or Universalous - depending on what company made the movie.
A console is little more than a collection of repurpoused PC parts these days, and developers are becoming less and less willing to rewrite their creation in multiple languages.
After all a muliplatform game is the same as saying a 'non optimized' game.

@ 213EDD: Also good call, dude.
Seriously, though, video games are not going anywhere. This industry is worth more than Hollywood today, Microsoft knows it, Sony knows it. They aren't going to let themselves fall out of the market for something like the ******* Kinect. Motion gaming is a fad. It's been popularized by the growing number of casual gamers who wanna be able to jump and do something simple and easy without actually commiting the time it takes for real games. By real, I mean things like Final Fantasy, or Borderlands, instead of Wii Sports or Kinectimals (what a stupid f*cking name...).
