I thought one of the commitments Microsoft made was that as they moved to 
Vista they were going to follow a plan of releasing on the PC what was 
released on the XBox (in fact, I did read just that).  When did that change? 
It seems at odds with the below from December of this year (recognizing the 
source of the statement is very suspect).

FiringSquad: First, you have announced new products earlier this year, 
including KnightBlade - Line of Defense. What can you tell us about the 
status of that game?

Derek Smart: Well that is a pure action shooter that is designed 
specifically for the XB360 with no PC version envisioned. Microsoft is 
pretty finicky about PC to XB360 crossovers; and nowadays getting a PC 
'port' over to the XB360 is just as easy as winning the lottery.

So, knowing that if we're going to do anything for the console it had to be 
kick-ass, I embarked on that project as my very first console exclusive 
title. It has all the elements of my games. Aerial, space and vehicular 
combat, as well as first person combat in my established game universe.
