I'll admist I'm die-hard PC, but I stand by my assertion that consoles are more casual. They cater for a different market, people who don't want to have to care how it works or why. Console games have a habit of being simplified, the mere fact that games have to be playable via a controller force the devs to dum it down, whether they want to or not. Also, because the target audence is even wider, realism and features will suffer. And as I mentioned before, it'll be a cold day in hell before the guys here give up their mods. Modding is what keeps many games and their supporting communities alive.
A console move would be a step backward as far as us players are concerned, who are constantly campaigning for more features and more content. I am glad that most simulation fans feel like this, because we are a niche market. As long as we know and stick to what we want, there will be some corporate fat cat willing to sell it to us. Saying we wouldn't mind playing Silent Hunter on a console is blasphemy you hear... BLASPHEMY! It's like cutting of your own balls.
