If Eidos were to release this exclusively for either the 360 or PS3 they would be skipping out on the fanbase who enjoyed Tomb Raider Legend. Not everyone owns these two consoles yet. Personally, I'd rather see a next-gen sequel to Legend rather than a remake of the original TR. I see this more as a going away present for the series on the PS2 and a tribute to the original, which had its roots on the PSX (and Saturn, of course).

Honestly, I never thought the 360 version of Legend (comparable, since this game uses the Legend engine on PS2) looked TERRIBLY better than the current gen version, mostly because TR isn't rendered using a realistic style. Plus, I'm not sure how well TRL sold on 360 (and I doubt they'd use PS3 since they'd have to build another engine again).
