Mass Effect

Is coming to the PC in May. Guess I won't need to buy an Xbox360 now.

Mass Effect's long-rumored jump to the PC is now a certainty, as publisher Electronic Arts has taken the popular action RPG under its wing with plans to publish the title for the PC in May. The game is the first in a new deal struck between EA and Microsoft, which will see the publisher bringing this and other unspecified games to the PC market.

According to EA, Mass Effect has undergone a slight makeover for its PC debut, with new PC-centric "fully customizable" controls, the ability to assign hot keys for "run and gun control," an enhanced inventory system, and a new decryption minigame. The publisher also boasts of the version's new "highly detailed" visuals, though we're curious to see if the console version's horrendous texture pop-in will be checked at the door before boarding the the painfully slow rising elevator leading to Mass Effect's spring release.

You should buy one anyways.

It'll be interesting if they outsell the 360 in units.

Nah. It has the most overlap of games of any system. Which is awesome if you only buy one console. But sorta redundant if you have the others (PC,PS3,Wii).

That would be insane. Mostly because consoles just sell so many more games no matter what.

Is that the case for games released just for one specific console?  I'd imagine that the multi-platform games have a large advantage since they are available to a greater number of people.  But for games only released on say the 360 I could see PC owners surpassing sales.  Not sure how realistic that is though.

Like for COD4 Xbox360 sales for 2007 hit 3.04 million. PC sales for the game hit just 383,000.
