yea, it does NOW several years down the line
it WAS the ps3 though. why else would they decide to make all their games on the handhelds? because it was more profitable? but why would it be more profitable? because it costed too much money to make the games? who were the individuals that decided that it was right to over price their dev kits then finally dropped those prices down by A WHOPPING 80% just to get devs to THINK about approaching the console? Yep, you said it, IT WAS SONY
some developers like to take risks right? so when a few games actually came to the ps3, do you know why they didn't sell as good as the devs wanted at 1st? because there wasn't a big enough install base at the time right? well why did the ps3 sales start off so slow for years on end? that's right, you said it, THE PS3 WAS TOO DAMN HIGH
The devs had to go with the only option they had and that was to pretty much make all their experiences on the the weaker(but less costly to make) handhelds that people were actually buying

If publishers wanted to make console games but have them be cheap enough they could've made more Wii games. Capcom listed dev costs as a reason for MH3 to be on the Wii, and many more could have followed suit but didn't. For those who wanted to make HD games, a lot of the bigger devs starting focusing more on the 360 as well. Handhelds were also an option. There were many options besides the PS3, especially at first when the PS3 was slow.

yea but the games never really sold well on the other options
The devs CLEARLY tried to make use of the other options(Wii and 360) but the games weren't selling
The wii sold like crazy while the 360 didn't sell much consoles and ps3 was just too much complication but all the games still sold better on ps3 when they came out
JRPGs even sell better on ps3 in America over 360 and the 360 pretty much owns this territory
if a dev made a multiplat jrpg for Wii,360 and ps3 and it released for each on the same day then the game will have sold better on ps3 in ALL regions despite it costing the most
japanese games just tend to sell more on ps3
