Assuming you can port. Current games tend to be graphics intensive, and are often written for specific hardware. One of the things gaming console manufacturers compete for is developer interest. You're a games developer. You make your living creating games that will sell. What platform will give you the most exposure and best chance of success?

Serious gamers normally have more than one console, so they aren't locked into what is available for a particular platform.

The video game industry strongly resembles the film industry. Current games tend to be time consuming and enormously expensive to develop, and if your latest and greatest game that took years and cost millions to develop tanks, well, so does your studio.
