I feel that making a game exclusive can sometimes make better games, because you're making one game instead of 2 or 3. Even with games that are on multiple systems, one version always ends up being "the definitive", and the other versions are not up to the same standard because they're put out just to appeal to a wider audience. Focusing on one system let's you put everything into making your game great instead of making it accessible.
That may have been true a decade ago, but nowadays unless you're trying to squeeze out top-tier graphics performance (which isn't the case with this game) you only need to worry about the control scheme. The code can be compiled for multiple platforms.
