There were/are some games I'm very interested in and willing to buy, but I don't own an Xbox or a PS3... so the end result? Less sales for them.
And they're crippling their own sales for what? To brag? To just get the up-front cash deal? That's very short-sighted of them. It's not like I'm asking them to make the new Duke Nukem compatible with a paperbook.

I'll never understand how some of these people ever get hired/elected to lead these companies...
The people make money, lots of money for their companies, and themselves.
