Activision's Chris Wilson was kind enough to discuss Skylanders: Swap Force with us. Watch the interview below.

Disappointed to hear the 360 is the lead SKU...

Agreed, but out of the three HD platforms, 360 demolishes the sales of the other two.

Isn't it four, counting PC and Wii U?

Doubful there'll be a PC version.  There wasn't one for Giants and the sales for SSA on PC were... not good.

There is for the other games and 360 as the lead platform you get PC for essentially free.

There is what for the other games?

As I said, there wasn't a PC version of Giants.  I acknowledged the PC version of SSA - but, as I said, the sales left a *lot* to be desired.

Just being able to hit a magic button that ports the code to PC isn't enough. The game can't really be distributed via digital download (even more so since this one requires a new portal) and retail stores would be reluctant to give shelf space to a title that underperformed so badly the last time - even more so when you consider that this game would require an oversized bundle box (i.e.: more shelf space).

I was mistaken I thought that Giants did get a PC release.
