The argument "the Boxes are not powerful enough" is certainly not the reason.



Perhaps the Sandbox editor is so specifically PC oriented that it simply doesn't work for consoles and that a whole re-write is required. If that's true then the Crysis levels aren't possible to be ported that easily, they'd have to remake their whole game. Perhaps they simply do not like the prospect of making the same game twice.

Don't forget that the whole game was build using their editor. The CryEngine 2 scales good on PC systems, but not at all 'out-of-the-box' on consoles because it wasn't designed for consoles.

Crytec looses money, by not bringing their production to the consoles.
They would not wine about a bit lower performance of the consoles.



Good point. Apparently their PC dev team isn't up to the task to make a console version, either because they are busy or because they can't or don't want to. They are searching for ps3 programmers at the moment though... so perhaps they simply lack the programmers?
