They're appealing to audiences. PC audience tends to be more mature, hence EVE Online(Simulation, Sci-Fi, Strategy). Console audiences tend to have shorter attention spans, etc. hence Dust 514(FPS) It's easier to code 1 game on PC, and 1 game on PS3 than it is to code 2 games on PC and 1 game on PS3. They also have to pay employees to do the coding.

Believe it or not, there's a larger market on the PS3 for shooters than there is PC. I'm not in any way saying that FPS games are better on the PS3 than they are the PC, but that's where the market is.

Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo never seem very keen on cross platforming the game servers.
I believe the only thing to ever do this is Portal 2.

I could understand developing on both PS3 and PC and having it on separate servers being a good idea, but never tying the two servers together. Besides, we don't want all the PS3 players getting dominated and feeling bad because they simply refuse to believe that using a mouse to aim is much more precise.

To be fair, a lot of console gamers buy games on consoles because they either don't have a computer/money for a computer to run the game or most of their friends are console gamers, so they feel it's more convenient to be playing on the same platform as them.

But yes, you're also right in the aspect that there are many stubborn biased console gamers who think PC gaming is stuff when they haven't had any decent experience other than playing some stuffty browser game on their parent's crappy laptop.

Chrono:
It's a mix of all kinds of people for why FPS gaming is more popular on consoles.

But regardless of how you look at the reasoning, the numbers are still there and that's what matters in terms of marketing.

Fredulus:
if you mixed console and pc on the same servers all the console players would get dominated lol. one of many reasons im sure they had
