We're not talking about console exclusiveness.... We're talking about porting it over to the console as well as the computer.
I mean theres absolutely no logical reason for it not to be other than pc fanboy elitness clouding your judgment.

PCs cost the same as consoles if you know how to buy them. Also, I game on my PC from my couch with a wireless mouse and keyboard and a lapdesk...

actually that's not true... maybe if you shop around and find the dodgiest computer store you can buy a "decent" computer for $400 but don't expect it to have a warranty, or viable parts that aren't second hand or rejected parts sold under the cover, not every cheap computer store is completely legit

The control systems all offer the same problems, in as much as how do we retain the core gameplay we love and enjoy from Penumbra and Amnesia in a console environment?
Instead of looking at controllers, why not look at controlling the games WITHOUT controls. I'd hazard to say that Microsofts Kinect seems like a perfect fit for this type of interaction and would certainly make for some pretty amazing gameplay (Think actually running away from monsters, slamming doors and dragging boxes to stop them crashing in).
The Kinect market will also be relatively sparse, which would also really help an indie company and title get face-time and support, unlike such crowded markets like the PS3.
Wether the Kinect actually takes off is another matter but hands-free controls are only a matter of time, so at least the ball has started rolling in that respect.
What are your thoughts folks, think that a hands-free style experience is preferable to traditional console controllers?
maybe someone can reprogram Amnesias controls to play on pc with a hacked Kinect ...
something like this , but then with Amnesia would be fun :

RE: In Relation to Console Portage - DIGI Byte - 12-18-2010
kinect is rather beautiful and has a lot of possibility as far as dynamic player/game interaction, Im not one for waving dildos around to "interact" with a game... I'd rather point and click to do that... the traditional way
but with that said, kinect, like any other player interpretation device isn't as powerful as direct commands from a controller and anyone that thinks kinect would be great for games like amnesia or halo needs a kick in the head, kinect, like Wii and glowing dildo sticks... are linear based... there's only so far you can go

Oh it will, if the kinect fails on the game market it already has a heart in device hackers and motion adaption software...
I don't know if you noticed but some guys are really getting into hacking the kinect for real time 3d space capture rendering software, within 2 days of kinect's release... just one guy recreated the "bullet time" software effect with little effort, it was a tech demo and still a work in progress, but impressive start

Why? Because that is not ever gonna happen?
Heavy rain was poorly acted, written and directed.... okay you must be dumb then. I dont like the game because for me its boring but it has a very good story, but sometimes storys dont make a game, also the music in the game is amazing. But most of game like you said is quick time events but also the game seemed realistical in some ways more than amnesia anyway so.... But i guess because its on ps3 you hate it anyway right ? lol joking.

I'm going to sound like a hypocrite or something by saying this, but I don't have a PS3, and I've never played Heavy Rain. What I have played is Fahrenheit, which is basically the same thing except worse looking.
There is absolutely no excuse for any quick time event in a game. Quick time events are bad game design and should be thrown in the trash. All of them. Ever. It's a movie, and if you want to make a fucking movie, make a fucking movie. Except it wouldn't be successful as a movie because its writing, acting, and story are awful. So they give it to console gamers because their demographic is often dumb as shit, overlooking the quick time events for the fact that it's supposed to have hard-to-watch scenes like in Dancer In the Dark, when actually they're fucking hilariously bad.
