Not necessarily, although that is near the top. (It's not like exclusives don't get leaked into the wild too.) The difference between making the game work on the PS3's/Xbox's fixed hardware means that if it works on my machine, it will work on yours. Trying every AMD/nVidia card you can get your hands on is a lot of extra work. Even without having to submit the game to Sony or Microsoft, compatibility on the PC is a huge hurdle.

I am honestly starting to think it is to ward off pirates, "aww i has to wait a month to play batmans? I'll just buy it on konsole!" Well that is not going to work on me, I replayed arkham asylum on PC and it was such a better experience compared to the ps3, sharper, crisper, and more PHYSX! October was already looking too busy for me anyway.
Welp that's gonna make me not pick it up day one. I wanted something in Oct to hold me until skyrim and saints......
It would be nice if they actually had some fucking respect for there customers to say "why" rather than just going it and giving us... nothing to go by.
God fucking fuck on a fucking fuck of fuck FUCK FUCK FUUUUUUUCK
I'll have to avoid the internet for however long between the console and pc release now god damn it.

EXACTLY what npa189 said. The PC version of Arkham Asylum actually SHAMED the console versions with how well it ran, and had no DRM beyond a disc check. I can wait a bit longer for this game.

PCs can use controllers, too, dude. And PC controllers are cheaper than console controllers.

No DRM besides a disc check? What exactly do you call that piece of shit Games for Windows Live?

The pc version will support controller right? I wouldnt mind waiting if it meant better graphics and true 1080p
My purchasing has just been put back to 2012. That's a pity, but my budget is so tight on all the games I'm buying right now that I can't take the hit.
FFS! Are you kidding me? What about the Steam version? The fact that this has been delayed until November means that I won't even touch it now, because of Skyrim! they are making a BIG mistake by delaying the PC version of this game! Why can't they get their sh*t together, FFS. This is 2011!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So many people bitching, its almost like you've never seen any other game get delayed before. I'd rather see a finished product over a rushed mess imo.
the game will be pirated on every platform. the reason for these delays is most likely what npa189 said: they want people to buy this game on consoles.
if the choice is between paying $10 more for the console version or waiting a month for the (likely superior) pc version, many fans are likely to give in and cough up the extra cash.
and yeah, for the record the PC version of AA was better than the console version. i can't be bothered to post "that video", if the haters won't do their research it's no skin off my nose.

that's assuming you buy digital, even boxed copies of PC games are cheaper.
you're right though, i guess its the MS/sony cut that bumps the retail price. i do think that it's advantageous to be putting more sales on their platforms, but perhaps that's not enough incentive to account for the predictable delays PC software suffers.
