I believe the director said he wanted to just focus on making Heavy Rain on one platform to get the most out of it and they chose the PS3 and Sony agreed to publish the game. I'm sure it could be done on the 360 but Quantic Dream probably chose the PS3 back in 2005 or whatever because Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) sold better on the PS2 and they proabably figured that the PS3 would outsell the 360 back then and have a larger install base.
Although probably some people want the answer to be something like the 360 can't handle Heavy Rain, etc. here in SW, the real reason is because Sony is publishing the game.
Because it's making full use of 100% of the PS3's awesome power, fully utilising Blu-Ray and the power of god-like The Cell. The game would need 20 discs just to play the title screen if there were to be a 360 version.
Because those greedy dogs at Sony used their deep pockets to publish it, meaning they completely screwed over the 360 owners who wanted to play it.Floppy_Jim
Meh, very few of them feel upset. This game WILL do poorly. Despite it's quality.

LOL, i woulda waited till the GS review first.. still tho, the game has been getting awesome reviews from all major sites.. so yea, nice ownage sir:) well done
So when Sony reaches into their pockets and buys publishing rights to game its ok. But when MS does it, its a crime against humanity
Hypocrisy lol

Because sony bought exclusivity and publishing rights. It was originally in development for 360, PC, and PS3.

pretty much this That's an interesting thing for Cage to say considering it's apparently obvious that that was not how the next generation turned out. That said, the point is that it's inarguably okay when a developer chooses to dev for a single platform but it's more ambiguous when a platform buys the exclusive rights to a game. However, you have to realize that neither Sony nor Microsoft have an obligation to bring happiness to the lives' of the competing brand's supporters, and it is within their interests to do the exact opposite in order to bolster loyalty to their brand. You're confusing running a business with greed.
because Sony and Maker are risktakers/deathseekers or brave to play the on the War of selling game than putting a multiplatform with suck reviews on other console
