What do you mean, Metroid Prime 3 = core game test? Where's the logic in that?
Actually, I think some "testing", if we should call it that, are ok as long as you try and make that product a full product, and as good and attractive as possible. I mean, every game is tested the moment it releases. I think Sega consider some of their Wii core games being tests.
The problem occurs when you tell the costumer that it's a test product, or make them feel that way. That way, the costumer may not consider the product being a complete product, or they may feel like they are guinea pigs. I believe many feel that way about DSE.
