When 70% of your userbase is on the weaker system, it makes far more sense for that to be the lead system then port whatever you have across to the others than it does making the lower userbase the lead system then having to make lots of tweaks and compromises to get it running on the PS2. Check out Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast to see just how much more horsepower the Xbox had when it was treated as the lead platform (on a multi platform game). |
Or look at the cutbacks that had to be made porting RE4 to the PS2. The PS2 was a great system but it was clearly less capable than the 'Cube and the Xbox. It was my "go-to" for that gen but I was always a little jealous that I never owned an Xbox.
