The Witcher coming to PS3/X360

I just received an email from CD Projekt Red saying the witcher is coming to ps3/x360. PC gamers what can you say about this?

Read the bolded words. I love PC gaming but i HATE PC ELITISM. I for one am happy console gamers get to play this awesome game. I say it will blow them away.

is a new game built from the ground up, using the same great story from The Witcher to create the ultimate console RPG. We've created an exciting new action-based combat system that takes full advantage of the console controller, we've created a new game engine with our friends at Widescreen Games to draw the most power from the consoles, and we're implementing a ton
of other features that will play to the consoles' strengths.

We want to deliver a deep and dynamic console RPG unlike anything you've ever played before.
The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf brings with it all of the depth of the PC game that sold more than a million copies and won more than 100 awards, simply re-imagined and remade to meet
and exceed the expectations of today's console gamers.

Before you PC die-hards throw up your hands in revolt… please remember that RED is still working on two unannounced games. For now, give Rise of the White Wolf a second look, even if you're not a console gamer. We're not into dumbing things down in future PC releases… as an example, we're not even dumbing things down for a console release. We think that all gamers – regardless of platform loyalty – want deep story-driven games, and we're delivering what we think is the deepest console RPG yet.

I have mixed feelings about this. While it is great that CDPR is going to make more money (probably, anyway) with which they can use to develop more games, the problem with developers going multiplatform is that over time, they tend to "console-ize" their games, even when they originated on the PC. Grand Theft Auto, Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, and Deus Ex are perfect examples of this. If CDPR can manage to keep PC games PC games and console games console games, then this will surely be positive for everyone.DGFreak

The Witcher doesn't have cutting edge graphics and the control is quite simple. the story and presentation is where this game shines. how it can be dumbed down like all these nay-sayers think is totally beyond me.
