Xbox360 and PS3 both come to the end of there lives at the end of this year or next, granted, 360 should have been put out to pasture long ago however.
they are going to be replaced with Xbox 720 and Ps4, wich should run Open GL, especially 720 as Cross compatability with PC is rumoured. so, perhaps a port to those systems via XBLA and PSN may be the ticket, as they will have more up to date tech so the game wont need to be crippled technologically to be ported.
porting isnt a bad thing, so long as they keep it EXACTLY the same as the PC version, and dont turn it into some Call Of Duty Style Zombie Shooter that is, as it will open frictional up to a Wider Audience of Players, and will bring them in more money! so they can make even better games, and can stay independant, the last thing i want to see happen to them, is them running out of money and going the same way as People Can Fly, 4A studios, GSC gameworlds, ETC, and getting snaffled up cheap by some big American Megapublisher, and being forced to make Cheap, Broken COD clones for Console from now until the industry crashes from too many modern shooters. PCF, 4A, GSC, all stuck to a PC audience, wich sadly meant they lost out on the wider audeince of porting, ran out of money, and ended up getting snaffled up By Evil Alliance (PCF), Terrible Horrible Quango's (4A) and Craptivision (GSC).
I mean, if Croteam can port SSIII to XBLA and PSN for the "next generation" consoles (720 and ps4), to get the extra money from the wider audience so they can stay Indipendant, without having to dumb the gameplay down or castrate the tech specs, then why cant Frictional port its games?

I hope EA doesn't team up with Frictional Games for AMFP and port it to Xbox.

@Zaffre: Oh, game publishers (Not Frictional) can stoop low that's for sure, but I think Amnesia has already had such a defined role in its genre, if they do anything of the sort, they'd be signing their own death warrants.

It would fail in the end, but for a while ea.com would look like this.

They still have the potential to be good. I think the main problem with them, and the people's problem with them, is that they take their money earning ploys a bit too far.
