Deus Ex 2, Thief 3 First on Consoles

In a surprising twist, PC.IGN.com reports that Deus Ex 2 (originally announced here) and Thief 3 (announced here), the sequels to the critically acclaimed PC action games that are currently in development at ION Storm Austin, are now headed for a console release first before appearing on the PC. Thief 3 is targeted for the Xbox, while no specific console system is mentioned for Deus Ex 2. The decision is motivated in this excerpt:

The reason behind these changes is apparently developer driven. We were told that because of the particular restraints of the consoles, whether it be RAM, or otherwise, that by programming a game with more restrictions first, it will be easier to open up the games to PCs, which give developers much more freedom, particularly in the RAM department.
