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?

Because its usually the other way around.

"Okay, console dumbing down completed. Are we done?"
"Yes."
"Box art and massive internet campaign initiated?"
"Yes."
"PC version done?"
"Oh crap ..."
"Dont worry, just copy & paste and add slightly working mouse support."
"Ok..."
"Done?"
"Give me a second."
"Done?"
"Yeah, done!"
"Great! To the pub!"

I know what you're saying, and I hate it too, but SH5 seems to have been developed for PC. It's less than two months away and still no mention of a console version. The official site still says it's only for PC. And remember, it's built on the SH3/4 code base.

Maybe there will be a console version, but if there is then I'm betting it'll be a PC-to-console port not the other way around.

Oh, I know. SH5 does not look console at all. But I am afraid of the future.

But remember, there's still... The Big Annoucement!
