Awesome responses so far, everybody!

It's looking like it's exactly as Lemur was saying - if you only game on one console, then the preference is usually to go with whatever size the standard for that console is.

Again, i am primarily a PC gamer, even though I also own a 360 and PS3, but I can't justify investing in G2 Steelbooks because there are not enough G2 exclusives for the PS3, and i can interchange my G1 Steelbooks for the 360 and PC.

Also, people can argue that there *may* be more of an exclusivity/identity factor towards G2 because people relate G2 to PS3, but that can also be a negative thing. If there are more G1 titles and people are more likely to lean towards G1 collecting, then it stands to reason that as a whole, there will be a larger "community" of G1-inclusive Steelbook collectors that may never touch or care about G2 just because they may not own a PS3. XBox and PC collectors on the other hand are going to go for G1 obviously.

And let's not confuse the fact that just because G1 releases on multiple platforms, doesn't mean that the number of Steelbooks produced themselves aren't still limited - in the case of G1, sometimes usually only the 360 version will get a Steelbook release but not the PC, or vice versa....so it's still rather limited. I own a very large majority of all G1 video game Steelbooks and a lot of them are not at all easy to obtain at this point.
