That's why I think that Cricket 2004 shouldn't have been made for the PS2.

But still I think comsumers are not fool to buy Cricket 2006 for PS2 versrion after experiencing Cricket 2004 version. I will be buying PC game only, whether its Cricket 2004/2006, Fifa 2004 or Euro 2004.

I don't think cricket games would be made for the X-box anyway. It just doesn't make business sense in today's global environment. There are the following reasons for this:
1. Many of the buyers of Cricket games are in India, Pakistan or Sri Lanka, where penetration of the X-box is zero. In comparison, PS2 sales have been pretty good.
2. The X-box is a very powerful system, and EA can't put in crap graphics and effects on an x-box game and get away with it very easily.

Then why can they get away with crap graphics on PC? I don't like them too much.

Yeah, you are definetly right Brad.
There are alot of PCs out there that are more powerful than X-Boxes.

yep, thats true, what I meant was that X-Box is the most powerful gaming console commercially available.
See, there are a lot of 'if's' in PC's, like What if the directx version is not supported, what if the video card drivers are not supported, what if modem/sound card/gaming device is not supported and so on. In a nutshell, the developers have to work around all these problems and that always limits them somewhat from putting in really powerful technology.
There are no such problems with consoles, wherein the developers don't have to worry about making the game work with a huge collection of hardware and conflicting software. That's why most of the games released for the X-box have better graphics than and run better than they would on all except the fastest of PC's.
