Well, who cares.

This got PS3 owners a good port with extra content of BioShock, an awesome game.

I'd be pretty happy with that result.

But if games don't sell after a delayed release why should they have even bothered?

It's all about the extra content. You see, if there was no extra content, Bioshock on PS3 would flop badly.

/sarcasm

Okay okay okay.

I'm not saying a game won't flop with added content, but it makes it less of a chance to not sell to frugal people who won't see the point of buying an old game with nothing added, at full price.
