I also think that Bungie very much believes in getting their games to as many people as possible. There is a reason why it's on 3 (4?) platforms, it's not because it's easy on the development team to maintain all of that, or because they want to make as much money as physically possible. I could be wrong, but I get that feeling about Bungie.

It was on 4 platforms because Bungie delayed. Development was originally for PS3 and Xbox 360 only. That was in the contract. Then with the delay Activision said “You’re doing next gen versions now”. “Uh no, the contract says PS3/360”. “Tough. If we give you an extension, then you ship on all 4.”
