Hehehe...glad to be an Xbox 360 owner.

Seems that Remedy is thinking the same thing. Why let your game on the PC where it can get piratated and sell your game with about 3 mil profit when you can get about 5 mil or more from MS and get then to invest in your advertises,because it`s 360 exclusive and a system seller.

Plus,to reach those graphics levels,you will need a very good gaming PC. Not many of those around,and not many will pay for the Pc and the game.

So...smart move Remedy.

Umm...Xbox 360 games get pirated too, you know..."PC = piracy only" is a very blanket statement.

People using pirate games on the x360 can be banned and lose the xbox live. The xbox live is one of the best features on the xbox, so we can't really compare. PC owners won't lose anything if they download a pirated game.

It is a single player game though.

Yes, but if someone has a modded x360 to play pirated games he will be banned soon or later, he won't be able to play online (multiplayer games) or use the xbox live and it hurts a lot the piracy on the x360. With that said, piracy on the xbox 360 = not a big reality because you will have a lot of disadvantages, it's nothing similar to what we see on the PC.

Oh I know that. I should've been more clear. It's true that PC piracy levels are much due to less potential consequences (though there are people who have 2 Xbox 360's, one modded, and one strictly for online games), but at the same time, you can't condemn the PC's software selling power because of it. Just look at Steam.
