French gaming site Sanqualis has a multi part Jade Empire interview, posted as WMA files. There is one specific part where BioWare joint-CEO Raymond Muzyka is asked about a PC port, and he mentions that's a possibility that's being looked into, though nothing is for sure. But it's at least better than what we've heard so far, Jade Empire definitely being an Xbox only game.

Kotor used the star wars franchise, while Jade Empire uses its own ip - I think thats a big difference. Furthermore, the fantasy/asia setting and martial arts focus of Jade Empire is targeting the console audience - or can you tell me a single PC martial arts game that has been successful?

This game isn't really suited to the PC unless you want to play with a gamepad. Fighting games have always tanked on the PC and even though this is simplified fighting it's still a fighting game.

Hmmm - saw the game during E3: It looked like a beat 'em up with more story and interactivity, but it's possible that I saw more of the realtime fighting action than of the actual RPG part. And although it would be nice and refreshing to have such a game on PC as well, I don't think that it would sell - not because it's bad or anything, but simply because it's basically a console game with a console subject.

This isn't good news. Consoles need more quality, exclusive titles.

It's what sets them apart from each other.
