This is getting ridiculous. Why are all the PC games getting delayed and delayed even though the console versions are out.

Because more people play the console version?

PC games have more bugs. Dozens of graphics cards, drivers, XP vs Vista. It has to work well on all of them.

That sucks, I was really looking forward to this game. I don't own a X360 or PS3, so PC was my only option. A real disappointment.

Its because of piracy. PC piracy can eat into console game sales.
I foresee most PC ports being delayed to maximize sales.

and usually console ports look like crap on the pc. ie. resident evil series on the pc. My God...

Yes, but in this case, DMC4 is being developed alongside the console counterparts. Unlike DMC3 and RE4 which were haphazardly ported over later.

And the other way. HL2 on the PC = WIN! HL2 on Xbox = FAIL!

I Agree and;

Agree here too.

At least it is being released, but expect the hardware requirements to be high..
