Oh please, go and take a marketing course. The creators of a product are not the ones to create the success, it is the customers, and always the customers. Developers do research to see where their customers are and possibly will be in the future.


Even then, outside of independent developers and a handful of really high profile studios the publisher (not the developer) decides what game is actually produced and what platform it is released to.

Countless developers have wanted to make a particular game for a particular platform and these games were never produced because they couldn't find a publisher who was willing to fund the project.
