Mainly because it is slowly but surely getting rid of this exclusive non sense for 3rd party developers. I am sorry but unless the game is being made by 1st party or 2nd party it should be available to everyone. I mean is the whole freaking point of being 3rd party in the first place. Why call yourself independent and then only release games on 1 console. Might as well sign up as a 1st or 2nd party. Looking at call of duty 4 which I think is the best fps this year and how it was available for both 360 and PS3 with both versions rocking is what 3rd party should strive for. Such a kick ass game should be enjoyed by everyone regardless of your console.
I know I sound bitter but man I hated the PS2 getting so many 3rd party exclusives. I don't want the PS3 owners to have the same resentment just because so many 3rd party developers have chosen the 360. I don't know maybe I am being too simple or naive but I if your 3rd party make it happen for everyone. I am sure they are reasons why you can't always do this but at least try even if it takes longer to get the game out.
Many seem to dislike EA though by now people should know EA is really many different developers that where bought and they still have pretty good games. Not saying EA is an angel but they are on the right path.
Basically I am hoping 3rd party games eventually means that it is coming to all the consoles.
By the way I know some 3rd party games may be only available for some consoles though I hope is more because of something especific to that console rather then some stupid contract.
