RE is in the third person. But I still understand what you're saying. All the best selling FPS on consoles have been on Nintendo systems (except for Halo).

IF the GC was to be considered as the platform next to the Xbox for Doom 3, it would have to be a very long process in rewriting the code just for the Gc, as it is the only way the game would be able to take advantage of the fast, but limited RAM. In other words, it will take longer to optimise the game for the Gc, and bring it to a near enough, if not around the same level of the Xbox version.

So at the end of the day, Id may think it would cost too much money and take too much time to 'port' the game over to the cube, though like Notorious stated, the game might sell by the bucket load and hence make money.

Just don't hold your breath!

I'll be buying this for my PC no matter what console it comes out on.
