Speculation and baseless assumptions. You mean to speak for the casual market as though you know how it works in and out? I think System Wars users need to realize they arent market analysts. Independant of everything you said, you still didnt say anything to actually justify why would a company release out a title on a seperate platform at a later date if they felt no one would buy it or eve recoup the losses of porting?
By your assumptions there would never, ever, ever exist a console to PC port that comes at a later date. Do i need to remind you of all the titles as of recently?

Yes, because market analysts are always right. Market analysts have perfectly predicted the outcome of console wars and all the like. They're the ones with all the facts and figures correct? Market analysts have perfectly found which stories to tell in the film medium which will generate the most money. Do you know what market analysts have found?
300, Transformers, Grindhouse. Underworld, Blade, Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Then they b**** and whine why they're not getting another 'Titanic' box office record. Apparently these so called "market analysts" have forgotten that there are people that aren't males aged 17-25. There are grandparents, young children, and females.
Then a movie like Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl comes out and everyone's surprised at how well it's doing compared to the Matrix and Lord of the Rings. Lame.
Those are your market analysts buddy. It's the same in every form of entertainment and they're still scratching their heads as to why they're not doing so well.
(If you can't figure out why I made that analogy concerning movies then I don't know what to say about you).
Who the hell would've known the Wii would trump both the 360 and PS3 by a margin? We weren't saying that before the current gen started. Now we're eating our own words. Enough about my rant on market analysts. Some of them; most of them are incredibly ignorant.
Hmm... why would they release a title on a separate platform at a later date? That's an easy one. Porting. Even easier when F.E.A.R came out before the 360 launch, hence it could not release simultaneously. Why did Oblivion come out later? Same thing, as well as Bethesda having to optimize it for PS3 hardware. I thought that was common sense? Why did R6V come out on the 360 first? To my knowledge, the 360 was the lead SKU, hence the later 'bad' port to the PC, and the later PS3 release.
Wait... why did I have to explain ports to a hermit?
