Stock market investors, the actual controllers of these corporations, are driving away from PC and console games in favor of multi-purpose hardware, mainly tablets and smart phones. Thus we're seeing a lot more games on those devices.

They are especially against the PC, so hard in fact that even tiny tiny tiny market scares cause any PC-exclusive stock to drop pretty harshly and then get re-invested in things like CISCO or just a mutual fund. SOE is likely attempting to secure funds from another market to make sure it can survive the falling PC market and come out on top in the new, smaller PC gaming industry.

Not so much consoles. It is more or less just causing a market vacuum where there is less capital to go around. The Xbox One supports this theory; it is essentialy Microsoft backing out its seriousness unto the multi-purpose device and leaving the Japanese companies to reign. And reign they will.
