This is like some weird bizzaro land, where console gamers are arguing over possible sales for a game, only this time it's a Valve game.

Truth is the majority of sales will still go to the PC version, mainly because that's where Valve is best. Most of the support will stay here, and that's only slowly changing. Support will be better for L4D on 360 than TF2 was, but who knows how good that will be.

Also, Groucho, it's been 100% confirmed by both parties that Google was never planning or interested in buying Valve for Steam...it was an unfounded rumor.

 

Good point. The vast majority of this game will be sold over Steam(I assume).

That said, that's a major reason for moves like this, imo. Since consoles contribute so little to this PC developers profit margin, then if a console is hard to work on, especially if it has proven to give such little return for such work with TOB, then they're likely to skip it.

They'd probably skip the 360 version too, if it wasn't for the fact that the 360 port is basically a copy/paste job with a multimillion dollar payday at the end of it.
