Do you have a citation/link on that comment by Namco's PR people? I don't doubt they may have felt that way (that seems to be the third party reaction to the Wii -- then they wonder why they don't get sales). But to actually say it publicly would be stupid. Mike from Morgantown |

Tsutomu Gouda: First, I have to say that the relationship between Destiny 1 and 2, and Symphonia and Dawn, is very different. Destiny 1 and 2 formed one complete whole, but Dawn doesn't have a "2" attached to it; we consider it to be a spinoff title.
Speaking personally, that was the moment when alarm bells started sounding in my head. Why would you refer to your own product like that...?
