Lazy? Seriously, you've got no idea just how much work and time goes into a game the size of this one.
The console market is far better than the computer market. A lot of people also can't be bothered to frequently update their pc hardware. When you know the majority of your customer base are people that are still in high school or college, it's the smartest thing to do. Not everyone has a stable income, and a selling price of a console game these days is generally around ~$70+.
PC games may be a bit cheaper, but if your product somehow doesn't run smooth enough over all those different hardware configurations, you get people complaining.
From a business point of view, you don't want that. Thus, selling on a stable platform is the smartest thing to do.
People that have plenty more knowledge on this subject can surely give even more points.
