its still published by MS....so that pretty much means only a PC port....

however, future bioware games will likely go to every platform.

So when is EA going to make their own console? They could completely kill the competition. Pandemic and Bioware are both huge.

Good news for PS3 owners: Many of Biowares great games may go multiplat.

Bad news for PS3 owners: Its EA... Enough said.

I guess you will be dump tackling your enemies in Mass Effect 2 now instead of shooting them.

'Time to shut up' pow.

I really thought this was a joke before I clicked on the thread name, then seeing the link, I thought it was also a joke.

I really think that there will not be another XBOX console. Microsoft losing 3 of its best exclusive developers(Bungie, Bioware, Bizzare Creations) in such a short time frame, the increased focus on Games for Windows, probably no Halo 4 to help a future XBOX, the lack of new game announcements in the last year, and the fact that they are not profitting in the hardware business(the $1 billion RROD fix alone nullifies the profits of Halo 3 and possibly ME combined). Don't be surprised when there is no new Xbox in the coming years.
