No word on if it will ever be released for PS3 or PC.

Unfortunately, PC gamers don't represent a very big portion of sales anymore

I was certainly excited to see the official announcement, but to be frank the X360 exclusivity is a bit of a downer.
As a PC gamer, I mean.

Thumbs down to Ferrari and Microsoft...

As a PC gamer, 360 exclusives are lame.

Oh I'm also a PC gamer and I don't have an XB360, I'm not gonna buy that console anytime soon. :( I do have a PS3 but I'm playing Shift on PC. Damn the XB360, I never were a fan of XBOX but it's getting a lot of great stuff nowadays!
