Because it plays a huge role in how people will decide which console to play their multi plats on. Why would anyone in their right mind spend $60 for a game on one system that, because of severe hardware limits, has features gimped or removed all together vs. spending the same $60 on the same game but with all the advertised features on much more powerful hardware that costs only slightly more. Granted the same argument could have been made by PC gamers with a game like BF3, but let's be honest, PC is in an entirely different ball park. When these talking strictly consoles, these factors become a lot more prevalent.
