There seems to be an upset in market share in the computer gaming peripheral industry; I hear that Microsoft has quietly stopped producing PC gaming hardware.
With this upset of power, there's now market share to be had and Saitek's pushing their PC products in hopes of filling that demand.
Based on the look of the X52 Flight Control System, they may stand a good chance of coming out on top. The X52 is very similar to the X45, but has received a futuristic design upgrade and a really cool programmable LCD screen built in to the Throttle Block that can display important information during gameplay.
