PC probably.
 
Good to see PC out in front... yet so often neglected by the sports games developers -_- Why is this the case? If a game isn't worth buying for me it isn't worth playing, surely many others think the same. Piracy is just as rife on consoles.

1. On these forums you are more likely to see PC in front as most of the folks are bound to be hardcore gamers with gaming PCs. Also, folks out here are more likely to favor PC due to modding/patches which can't be done on consoles. In actual sales consoles will beat PC sales easily as most of the sales will be due to casual gaming fans.

2. Piracy isn't as rife on consoles since online gameplay came around. Try playing with a modded console and see what happens when you try playing online. You will lose your Xbox Live subscription most probably and I'm not even sure you can mod PS3 in the first place.

On #2, why should it be any different on PC? All games should require a valid CD key to play online.

My point was that you don't need to mod PC to play pirated game whereas you will need to mod Xbox and if you mod it you will not be able to play ANY game online coz the mod will be detected IIRC. As for PS3 I'm not even sure if a mod exists so the pirated copy is moot.

Let me put it this way... I haven't came across folks who have played pirated games on PS3 & Xbox 360 (though did see on PS2 and Xbox) whereas know folks who play pirated stuff on PC. It's just that next gen consoles make piracy extremely difficult and less rewarding. Going forward (Xbox 720 & PS4) it will only get harder and it's safe to say piracy is not an issue with consoles but presents a huge risk on PCs.
 
I'll be going for the PC version.. have just begun scouting for a Gaming computer, hopefully will buy soon :cheers
 
Obviously PC.My Alienware has been bored too much with Ashes 09,EA 07 and EA 02.Time for Big Ant Cricket and Ashes 13.
 
I'm going to try and get people together for an Xbox 360 tournament. Will make a thread soon. Judging by how many people have voted Xbox on this poll, it will be a triangular series. :facepalm
