Of course, there are licensing issues too. There are games that are only available for one particular platform, so if you really must have that game, you are stuck with that platform.
For instance, Doom3. It's a M$ only product for now. No coincidence that the only console it will be available for initially will be the XBox. Of course, the PS2 and GameCube have snowball's chance in hell of running Doom3 with all it's eye candy.
Time to back off the M$ vs. the world issue. I think that horse corpse is quite bloody already.
