I remember, however console ports bring in more revenue for the company. Think of it this way though, better porting from PC to console rather than the other way round! Too many PC games die because of bad ports!
Why would I care if companies that are making neutered crappy console port games make revenue or not? In fact if I cared at all it would be for those companies to lose money and go out of business to favor companies that develop exclusively for PC so that they can produce superior products.
While I understand what you're saying, at the end of the day Eleon are a business and businesses need to make things that make them money. I don't disagree with you at all, but from a business point of view that is the next logical thing for them to do.
Eleon could be developing a classic game that will get them recognition and fans. That can only happen with a high quality game. No console portable game is going to ever be a classic.
It might generate revenue in the short term but alot less people would be on board for empyrion 2 or whatever Eleons next project is. There are some heavy intangible costs for a business that goes from pc to console.
