The people at OI want their games to look as good as possible. The only way to do that on the PSX was to make it 2D rendered sprites. Esentially, it was the best looking you could get with 2D.
They want to go 3D, but want to keep that same FMV-like quality. Xbox still can't produce fmv quality graphics, but it's a lot closer than the PS2 is. If another system came out that had more processing speed and a video card better than the geforce 3's, then OI would jump to that system in a snap. But nothing will anytime soon, and so thats why they're making the rest of the games on XBox.
