or when Resident Evil 4 became the most profitable PORT EVER.

 

Where the evidence of this?  RE4 PS2 port sold 3 million and released at full price.  RE4 Wii port has barely sold half of that and released at a budget price, thus making less money per copy sold.

You know, I think KylieDog just owned you....

Like he said, Re4 PS2 was a port and sold a lot more and was even GoTY for a few outlets the year it released...

Oh come on, we all know RE4 and Okami were both DIRTY CHEAP ports.

No, you are all just assming they were. It's not likely they were expensive, but porting is not a cheap thing to do (unless the game is cheap in the first place). Unless we get an actual budget amount from Capcom, you don't really know if they were cheap or not.

And did you forget porting Okami didn't even have the original materials of the first game? You think basically having to reverse engineer the game code is cheap?
