PS3 Saints Row cancelled. Saints Row 2 announced for 360/Wii

Saith THQ:

“We think the most important thing for the Saints Row franchise is to have a simultaneous ship into a larger installed base next year. We think the bigger opportunity is a multiplatform launch.”

How many times will we hear this? Games, exclusive to PS3 or not are being canceled or even stopped mid-production because either the PS3’s install base isn’t large enough or it’s just too ridiculous intensive to program for. Keep in mind that “too intensive” translates to lower profits as you have to hire more folx to get the same job done.

Saints Row WAS slated to be released until October of this year, so it was probably in the company’s interest to avoid the release of GT4 on Oct 16, however, why would it take until October to translate an already existing game to another platform (answer is above)?
