Camerson Suey, producer of The Force Unleashed, explained to Gamezine UK why there would be no PC version, even though there are versions for more technologically limited systems such as PSP, DS, and Wii.

“Someone with a $4,000 (£2,000) high-end system would definitely be able to play the Euphoria, the DMM and really technical elements of the game.

“But someone with a low-end PC would have a watered down experience, they would have to turn all the settings down and it wouldn’t be the same game.”

Mr Suey continued: “On the other hand if we made that game for as many people as possible, because we are trying to make mass market games, something that everybody can enjoy, well then it’s not taking advantage of what those $4,000 systems can do.

“So one way or the other depending on how you build that lead PC SKU, it’s not going to be for the same amount of people, it’s going to be not as good or only for a select few people.”

As to the validity of this argument, and whether it’s even the real reason for that matter, that’s likely to be a subject of much debate as the months go by.
