Regardless of what is good for consumers or not, a lot of publisher's benefit from multiple platforms so I don't think it would be easy to get a consensus from them. For example, Activision probably gets quite a bit of money from Microsoft for the timed DLC due to competition, which it would not get from a mono-console market. Capcom and Cyteck would never have received funding for DR3 or Ryse. Also a lot of the big players probably know they benefit from being able to do multi-console development as it keeps smaller competitors at bay who can only afford to do a single format. I guess it's kind of cynical, but for large publishers it's worth it because while it makes life a little more difficult for them, it makes life far harder for their smaller up and coming rivals if that makes sense.
