This is a good explanation except that you have to then ask yourself 'Why not give it to both of them?', in which case I have to agree with Rage gtx. Because he wanted the transmigrants to work together. Sasuke completes Naruto, and Naruto completes Sasuke. If Naruto gained the Sage's eyes, he'd have the full power of Hagoromo and the balance would shift in his favour. Once again Hagoromo would have chosen one over the other, which is the very thing that started his sons' feud.
