Ah, the eternal struggle between a console and a PC owner - which machine is better suited for games? Both parties have their own pros and cons, but more often than not it is the PC platform that offers a more engaging experience thanks to the vastly superior hardware when compared to consoles, although it is undeniably the more expensive route to take. Most people these days, however, already own at least a console and one gaming-grade PC to get their digital adrenaline rush. The exclusivity of game platforms is also a poser for some gamers, as you won’t be able to enjoy a particular game unless you already own the console, and with hardware prices being pretty high these days, gaming ends up as a rather expensive hobby. What we have today are rumors that the PC-based Space Siege might not remain an exclusive title to the PC platform, but might eventually end up on a console as well.

This is a pretty bold statement to make from the company, considering that the game itself will not be released until the autumn. I suppose such a quick port can only mean one thing - Space Siege is most likely to make its way onto the Xbox 360 instead of its rival platforms (PS3 and Nintendo Wii) due to the similarity in programming for Microsoft’s console. According to Shawn Green, associate producer of Space Siege for SEGA, “We’re talking with them about it. We don’t want to let any cats out of the bag too early but definitely a console version is something that’s being considered right now. But currently it’s not confirmed.”
