Why gamers don't buy a game because it is for another console?

You know, I'm not a true fan of Tomb Raider. So, the fact that the next one was announced for all plats but WiiU (which is apparently more powerful, to a certain degree), I was pissed, especially since porting costs almost nothing relatively speaking. I won't pretend to care about Tomb Raider, but I'll say "Oh, here's another case where 3rd parties shun a Nintendo platform".

Is it annoying to some people? Sure it is, but I won't pretend I'm a fan of the series, that I won't. Because if I were, I would have just sucked it up and bought an HD twin. In this case, I have a PS3 so it wouldn't be as bad, but not everyone owns an HD twin.

games that are a nice to have I usually wait till they are 1/3rd of retail price then I pick them up. Even though I already own all the consoles and could pick them up easily at retail to play, that is the only way I can justify spending money on them.
