Maybe it's just me, but I'm thinking that, if you're launching a new IP, multiformat should really be the way to go. Otherwise you're just losing potential audience.
There's quite a few PS3 specific games this gen I'd probably have loved to play, but couldn't. I might have been tempted to invest in a PS3 to buy a platform specific sequel, but not without the hook of playing the first.
Well I'm pretty sure Microsoft funded Alan Wake, so Remedy didn't really have much say in its platform releases.
It is a shame they canceled the planned PC release, though.
