Therefore, from a sales point of view, it would be total madness to make SH1V a Vista based game. If you're looking to sell 300,000 copies of SH1V, you go with XP. If you're looking to sell under 10,000 copies, you go with Vista. Easy decision. Silent Hunter 5 is a different story!

Why can't Ubi make SH-IV a VISTA and XP Sim? Microsoft is doing it with Flight Simulator X. It's to hit the shelves this October when all that's available is XP. When VISTA arrives, FSX will run on VISTA. Maybe Ubi isn't as big as MS, but it isn't a minor player in the video game market. I'll like to see the odds that SH-IV will hit the shelves in Q1 of 2007; it probably won't.
