One of the biggest problems for PC games is after their release and it hits 10's of thousands of different platforms, many of which will 'fail to launch'. Hell just read SH4's forums for a bit to see some examples. Game producers just dont want to have to deal with that. Espically with a (for the most part) wholy ungreatfull public.

Yes, In some way what we really need is just a console with a keyboard, that would bring back a level playing field as we had in the days of the Amiga, where games were almost guaranteed to work. But the last thing console manufacturers seem to want to do is add a keyboard for gameplay or allow the development of complex software like sims on their "oh so cool" platforms .

I'd actually read that 5 more FSX expansion packs would be released this year.
 Which actually doesn't effect me, as I'm still using the far superior FS2004....

Oh, my system is more than up to the task. FSX was too much of a video game and not enough of a flight simulator for me. Sure, it's prettier. If that's what your going for, FSX is the way to go.....I use FS2004 for procedure, instrument approaches, training, etc....
So, I stuck to FS2004. I felt it a much better simulation. And, I get to compare it to the real world, being a pilot and all. There's no right or wrong, only preference... Maybe one day I'll PFFFt try again. Whatever that means....
