Why Doesn't Ubi release the game for PS3 and XBOX 360?

[trenken]

I could see 360 being an option, since its not too far off from being a PC, but not the PS3. Way too different.

Still though, to port it to the 360 would cost money, and we dont know if they have it. Besides, the game wouldnt sell well anyway.

Most sim players have gaming PCs, the 360 crowd is much different, sims dont sell well on it at all.

huh? the PS3 has the same features and even more. PS3 supports mouse and keyboard, both USB and bluetooth. And how it would sell is just a speculation. The PS3 is no different than X360 other than the hardware and looks. Both do the same jobs and offer the same functions. I have both and i prefer PS3. Faster and cleaner GUI and way less noisy. And the fact that i can use a keyboard and a mouse for surfing and similar tasks.

Ubisoft has money for it no doubt. But there might be engine limits preventing such a port to consoles. Other than that i can't see why it can't be done.

SH5 could be the last title for the PC, the crew setup is like a console game already.
If the sales are bad or not what Ubi expected they might drop PC titles altogether and focus on the console market.
That means no more modding and Subsim is dead in 10 years from now on 'cos there is no sub simulation to talk about.

That was because of some image Brandytran had in his post, it has been removed.

Certainly sounds like it to me as well. From what we've learned so far it has many arcade and gamey elements that would make it a perfect console fit down the road....

My apologies to all about that popup--linked to an image on my sharepoint, and apparently was asking everyone for credentials. Chalk that one up to ignorance on my part. I won't be adding images from my sharepoint to any posts in the future!

Thanks, man. Those popups are like a waking up next to a hairy fat lady--I don't know how she got there and worse, I don't wanna know.

"The only remaining limitation is the PC exclusivity, which Dimitrescu said might change. While the focus is, as it always has been for Silent Hunter, getting the game for the core PC gamer, the industry has changed, and consoles might be in the future. It doesn't appear to be a giant leap for the series, with a focus more on historical accuracy and realism instead of simulation,"
