So for a poll to show the pc version being the more popular one shows how anti xbox 360 this site really is. It would be like someone doing a poll asking which version of street fighter are you going to get the pc version or a ps3 version. I can guarrantee most would choose the ps3 despite the advantages of the pc because street fighter is a traditional console game whose fanbase is use to playing it on a console. But when it's a choice between 360 or pc things seem to change for people on this site. |

Or it shows how popular PC is on this website. I don't doubt the 360 version will outsell the PC version, but we're on a video games site here. The PC is the one machine we can all but gaurantee everyone has and on a games site, there will be a dispropotionate number of core PC fans for whom gaming will be a significant hobby for them (relative to the mainstream sites and media).

Flawed analogy. Whilst fable may be a heavily console based game, the original was on PC and as a WRPG is actually very at home on the PC (where WRPGs are quite popular). It might not port well but it's still in a popular genre on PC, and these are all issues for the future. Street Fighter is a beat-em-up, a genre which has never been popular on PC. A fairer comparison would have been something like Fallout New Vegas, and I think you'd get similar results to the poll above.
