Will FSX be arround for PS or Xbox?

No. None of them has the power to run fsX well, and the controllers don't have enough buttons for all the commands.

It'll be out on Xbox360.

There goes the baby out with the bathwater.

Ummmm.
You can use the controller with fsX on the Pc, that's why it's there. It's been explained like 10 times by Mike G.

*Cough*

BTW, that particular screen has been removed from the release version...

...because there were too many people who were misinterpreting the image of the controller...

I don

*cough* when have you seen a joystick for an XBox 360?

In woodlouse's defense, if he hadnt read the CNN article or seen it elsewhere, its a very easily confused picture. Just because there is a joystick in the picture doesnt mean that it is implying that both go to the same system. It can appear as a comparison between the sim on a Joystick on a computer, or a controller on an X-box 360.
Honestly when I first saw the picture, I thought that it implied that FSX was going to be on X-Box 360, (not that I didnt have my doubts about how realistic you can get with like 15 buttons) but then read the article and got it. Either way, you would need a keyboard or a lot of add-on components. How else could you tune the radios?

Actually, I have seen about a dozen references saying it was compatible with the X-Box PC controller.  I don't think they were unclear about it.  There is no chance in heck it is going to be on X-box and less of one it'll be on Playstation.

Can you imagine what would happen to our beloved sim if EA got ahold of it?  :o  It would turn into GTA in the air...
