Why Can't Crysis Come to Consoles?
First of all, Crysis could be ported to consoles. It's only a matter of working out how many sacrifices would need to be made to make that achievable. But if Crytek can't reach a similar quality bar as they can with the PC version of Crysis, then it's not going to happen.
Why Can't Crytek Produce a Great Crysis Port?
No one is saying they can't, but consoles do have their limitations. Crysis is a very detailed game with an enormous view distance. All that information has to be stored in a quick to reach place which is either the video ram, or the system ram. The next best thing is then the hard-drive. Unfortunately, consoles don't have much ram nor do they have a hard-drive ( which are much faster to read from than discs )
Conclusion:
At the moment, Crytek are only focusing on a PC version of Crysis. Although a console version has been talked about, no final decisions have been made and I doubt we'll hear anything further on this subject until after Crysis is released.
