If they want to make a game for a console, they should do that and not bother with PCs because a PC game that makes concessions in order to work on consoles with standard input devices (pads) cannot compete with other PC games. The end result is a really bad PC game (because it's limited by console hardware) and a less than perfect console game (because resources are wasted on the PC port).

As far as cost goes, a PS3 may only cost 250 bucks or whatever, while a desktop with acceptable FFXIV performance probably costs ~$500, but why would you ever buy a console if you don't already have a computer? So all the people complaining about not being able to afford a gaming PC probably already have some shitty laptop AND a PS3 for a combined cost that far exceeds the desktop they'd need to run the game.
I'd say its more budget and priority limitations at least for my thread topic than PS3 limitation.
