Series die or degrade, that's just part of life. Worms killed itself on the PC, as did the X-Wing series, Krondor series, Heroes of Might and Magic, and more. Even good series like Jedi Knight ends eventually. Yes, some series die when they go multiplatform, but I think that's more about them getting gready and losing focus on the gamers than it is about going to two platforms. There are a lot of good series that degraded on its own without consoles' help. The rate does seem to be higher on multiplatform series, though.
But I don't think GTA or C&C3 died from going multiplatform, quite the reverse. And certainly going multiplatform has increased the budgets of many developers, meaning we get better graphics quicker than we would otherwise.
