I'm pretty sure it's a shoe-in for a port on the Ps2, but what other console do you think it will make an appearance on?

I mean the Xbox has a firm online strategy in place, but isn't fairing too well in Japan, while Capcom has been somewhat one of GameCube's biggest supportes, but they have yet to get a firm online plan in place.

In a bit of a quick update to this, GamerFeed had somehow disocvered (it's been like what 20 mins?) that the gamewill be released for all three consoles.

hmm...if it's a cross platform MMORPG, could this mean that PS2 gamers could play with GameCube of XBox players over the same network? But then again, MS has their own servers. But maybe Capcom will use their own? Could be more efficient to have a few main servers for all 3 consoles rather than a whole bunch of different servers for all 3 console version.
