Look at the sales for UT3 or Crysis and then tell us again why companies should go cutting edge on the PC over consoles. How many PC games were in the top 10 last month? How many will be in the top 10 this month?

To be fair, Blizzard will likely make more profit than EA, Ubisoft, Square, and Konami combined this year. But generally, I agree, the financials aren't there for a variety of reasons. 

But that's a whole different issue, Legend. I completely agree that putting games on the Xbox360 for financial reasons makes sense: the system has proved itself profitable. But that's not the same as putting games on the Xbox360 because it fullfills your artistic aspirations, which is really the pet peeve of mine that underlies this thread. Financial and artistic motivations are different. 

The Xbox360 makes more financial sense, for sure. But this does mean that developers are sacrificing "artistic aspirations," if that term has any validity, for financial gain.
