Plus the game in Europe sells like crazy for PC and according to one of the producers is the main reason why PC NHL 07 will be current gen.
People still need to understand, that EA wants to sell as many copies of their game as they can. Why isolate their PC market to those with only super machines?? Plus I think they want to wait until Vista is released.
Next Generation of gaming are consoles... this is an absolute fact. Developers more and more are developing with that in mind. Trust me, i'd love a PC version of Next gen NHL 07 because it's easier to manage rosters and add ons. But in the grand scheme of things Next gen consoles are the way to go. I just got a 360 and LOVE it on my HDTV. I also just spent $400 on a video card.
Not only is it more economical to buy a console $499 for 360 vs $400 for JUST a video card but it's also a hell of alot more convenient for GENERAL CONSUMERS.

yes but you forget the most important fact of PC gaming, and that is scaleability. a game like Oblivion, with argueably the best graphics of any game to date, can be run on something as old as a Radeon 9700 when the graphics are turned down far enough with few issues. and seeing as how EA has had scalable graphics for every other NHL PC release, it would seem very stupid to release the weaker version for PC when users with older systems should simply be able to turn down the eye candy options to make the game playable
in fact i don't even think i can even buy that. i can't remember any game that was released to PC and consoles at the same time where the PC version had weaker graphics
