Default I bet that SHV will be also on Xbox

Just think about it.

First of all. Ubisoft does not care about what subsim community wants. Their priority is making millions and not satisfy the needs of few hundred subsim nerds. Taking this game onto Xbox is the next logical step.

Since this game is now a FPS game, it can be very easily played on Xbox controller. You just need to move around and click on 3D object. No shortcut keys. You have to walk around. Sure the subsim community will go nuts but look at the box market. They will make TONS of money selling this game to kiddies. It would be stupid not to enter that market.

Right now they just keep it quiet because they dont want to attract negative attention from series fans.

Just you wait and see...

I meant the UBI marketing guys. Their first priority is the money.

Fixed for ya.

Naturally, Ubi would demonstrate more intelligence by adding it to the PS3's library of games, especially as it's the only console with native Keyboard and mouse support.

Although, I'm not sure Ubi know how to code for the PS3.

yes,for sure .

you don´t need TDC because the crew cand do it for you, and the same with plotting a couse, but it´s not a simulator, is a game

They are trying to capture a new kind of public ,so the interface, gameplay, history if all ready for the new costumers.

Sadly as in a some games the same name in different versions don´t means the same quality or realism .

farcry derived to crysis, (no to farcry 2)
Operation flashpoint to Arma ( no operation flashpoint 2)

Yep, me.

Having said that, I don't see why it's a problem if it is released for consoles. If it suffers consolitis then I'll be annoyed, but if it's a PC game and they port it to the Xbox then why should that bother me?
