[QUOTE="raziel_eire, post: 13799"] "Console sales have increased" ... geez, do y' reckon ... [img]http://www.therugbyforum.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img] aside from that... The game would be designed for play on a console as thats where the market is at... people with consoles have the disposable income, and while there are a great many gamers on PC, the fact that consoles sell so well is that they are almost exclusively for playing games and the games are designed with their specs/abilities in mind... if the PC market was so strong and everything was designed for the "better" PC with all its power, memory etc, then how would any console get a look-in? And as strong as the PC market is, they would be alienating millions more people if they did not make the game (primarily) for the console gaming masses. EA (and the vast majority of other publishers/developers) think about the market that will reap in huge sales first as opposed to thinking about developing a game for high-end PCs to show it off and then have to do more work to "dumb it down" for display on the inferior (but better sales of games) consoles This is not always the case i.e. a good RTS game on a console is hard to come by, but on a PC, they are everywhere - thats their market... if you find an RTS on a console, generally it will have been ported over from PC. I believe that Rugby 2005 has been designed for console hardware first and foremost and then PC... (tho this does not necessarily make the PC version a poor relation - it will have its optimized graphics etc, but the game mechanics (the meat of the pie if you like) will have to work on all platforms) Anyways... this is all a storm in a tea cup... I'll be getting on PS2 cuz thats what I like, the same way we'll all decide whats best for ourselves - "Horses for Courses" [/QUOTE]
