With all the focus these days on consoles, it's refreshing to see a studio focus on pc gaming.

The PS3 doesn't use Direct X and the XBox 360 doesn't supports mods...

mmmm too hard to make it onto games consoles well no it is not..infacted its very easy to make a game for the xbox rather than the ps3 alot of games on pc is now on the xbox360 and i know people who make the games and i have asked them over the years the 360 as been out..its not too hard, but it does boil down to one thing money
Nadeo as to get full 110% money from ubisoft for this to work. and i am for sure it will not
game price for xbox 360 approx would be £35 to £40 pound
mods would come in a DLC "download pack" remember guys a mod is around 35mb
well they could make texture tiles dlc packs size around 5gig thats loads for us to mess around with
with more DLC packs to be added to the xbox live desktop
price would be something around the 800 to 1200 msp
loc files for the texture tiles would be on a server belonging to nadeo or ubisoft
tracks we make fit onto TMX are under 1mb so that means we could use the same idea as "trails hd 1mb xbox live" share with your friends when uploading tracks !
extra "CARS" would also work the same way as the DLC texture tiles packs around 250msp to 500mps
DLC Bay Car Pack, DLC Speed Car Pack, DLC Coast Car Pack etc
i could see ALL the above working ^^^^^^
and i also could see Nadeo really making more money from the DLC Packs
i hope they look at this and really think about it..bring something to the xbox 360 which is missing a Good game
where the user can spend hours making something then share..
what i really miss on the 360 is a track maker thats why i love TRACKMANIA so much since day 1

I guess its all fair explaining all of that, but the time it will take to create everything for the xbox, change the coding for the xbox, test the game thoroughly for bugs/faults etc, it all takes along time!

In all honesty, I'm glad TM is going to be PC-only. Or at least PC-primary. With all the big devs running to the consoles only--EA, Ubisoft, Activision, etc etc...it's really nice to see a game that still gives love to the PC. More moddability, higher user-base, easier multi-user-communication, and a whole host of other features -still- make the PC superior to any consoles--not to mention a PC still is more powerful than a respective generation console.

I think that if TM2 was on consoles, you probably wouldn't be able to mod the music, because sony and Microsoft are really picky with things like that, and there would ONLY be texture mods made by Nadeo (or who ever) and users who wanted to make their own mods would just get banned (Mainly on X-box live).
If you WERE able to make mods however (You probably wouldn't though) all of the users playing online would have to stop, then download the mod, install it, and then finally be able to play the track; by which time the server would have moved on and all the players would have missed the track! How annoying would that be. Oh and custom cars would be a thing of the past. Not to mention custom horns and avatars.
Just sayin'
