Pay attention Sega. This is something the whole industry could benefit from actually. Put your game out on 3 platforms, and the multi-player base will likely be smaller unfortunately. What you should really start striving towards is allowing your Playstation, Xbox and PC customers all play against each other online. In order for the multiplayer and overall longevity of the title to sustain (DLC, etc), cross-platform play would open up the greater likelihood that the people who enjoy the multiplayer, will always have some people to compete against as well as the success of their alternate revenue streams (DLC). Games like this in particular I see doing alright overall across all three platforms, but ultimately the number of players online will dwindle. I have faith the industry will eventually adopt a the videogame as a medium similar to that of a movie, where the consoles will eventually just play one format of game and we can buy the hardware off of different companies, and all play happily together online... (Note: PC's are pretty sweet, and at least you can have total control of the components, but we all benefit from a generation of hardware like the current PS3, 360 [in terms of similarity] Right?.. maybe I'm just baked.)
