It's like any other platform choice though. PC vs console, gameboy vs PlayStation etc.

nope - stuff you mention has different architecture (so you have to program for specific CPUs), different hardware (memory constraints, overall performance to get and maintain adequate FPS) and so on.

this has same base PC, just displayed differently. It is another layer of complexity compared to displaying it on LCD screen, but not THAT big. games can be relatively easily developed to work well for both platforms, and many will be. this is about content locking and competition between companies.
