I don't know if they had originally intended for it to be ported to next Gen. It may have be a ploy to sell more copies but I honestly don't see Gearbox doing something underhanded like that. I'm glad they ported it to next. I get to maybe use my Mechronancer to her full potential and not lag myself and everyone else out of the game with my retarded powerful anarchist/bouncy bullet/shotgun combo.
