Except, of course, it is unlikely that Activision-Blizzard would reduce their investments they would just put them towards different platfoms that have higher ROI; which would translate into more profit off of the same investment.

You seem to be one of the very few posters who understand this concept. It's very apparent which posters have the least business sense or core comprehension of how businesses select which projects to engage.

Except there's a concept called over-saturation, in which monies redirected from PS3/PSP projects and funneled to 360/PC would create too many releases in a given time period.

Activision's successful console series are GH and CoD.  What are they going to do, give up on the PS sales of those series and make more different GH releases for 360?  Laughable to think they'll make the same amount of money; they'd make far less.  CoD, same; they'd have to make a whole new game instead of just creating a PS version of the same game.  It would be less profitable.  Activision is impotently grousing, here.

 

Or they could spend more money on a project for more polish and such. But would that translate in more sales? Probablly not. Which would mean less profit on the 360 games.
