If market size is the only criteria, then SE6 should be a console game - perhaps for the Wii where you throw the controller at the TV to indicate rejection of an AI's diplomatic proposal.
More seriously though, if Linux compatibility
isn't taken into account, then there is the real likelihood of SE6 becoming a DX10 Vista-only game - given Vista's
draconian media restrictions, that should be a real worry for anyone concerned about cost and control of their system.
It is certainly feasible to produce a game that runs under both Windows and Linux (Dominions 3 being one good example along with the Doom/Quake family and Neverwinter Nights) so now should be a good time to raise this point.
