What I said is: We have a lot of ppl running old systems because, so far, there was no need for a new one. No-need...but willing to upgrade.
Defining min specs up the sky is just as wrong as coding it for methusalem systems, for the latter you dont even have to start.
But that was not the point: I just said the steam average is useless if you want know your
target customers' average system.
The niche for flight sims is imho very very small, and those customers have systems above average.
(although It cant be that small if there are at least three companies offering joysticks in the $300+ range...)
Considering the min specs, I would put them to a level which was upper mid-end 2 years ago(which seems to work, if you look at BF:BC2) - but it's not up to me, and honestly I don't give a flying f***.
The day the game published we will know what we have to buy or not.
