I just divided it into two options to allow for more information to be given.
See like the whole first page of replies to this thread... Such as the comment "I would definitely buy for either Wii or PC, but I don't like PS3" one. You made a poll to judge interest in the PS3 version, so its strangely missing the 'I don't care about a PS3 version at all' option. Dividing that option into the two parts gives more info on the Wii and PC versions than it does on people not caring about the PS3 version.

That's no different than a game coming out on the PS2 and then you can no longer play it on the PS3 (especially since Sony stopped making backwards compatible PS3's). You're arguing that games don't last on the PC and citing MI games which at earliest are 9 years old; oldest 19 years, while there isn't a PS3 game more than 3 years old? That's a skewed comparison if I ever saw one.

Plus, I have not encountered a single PC game too old that you couldn't download some program to play it on a current PC (including every single MI), but even if that weren't true, the play-life of a game on a PC is way longer than the shift between console generations.
