| HappySqurriel said: Just on people buying multiple versions of the same game ... From what I have seen, most people can be motivated to buy a re-release of a game they already own but this typically only happens if the new version of the game is released years after the initial release; and typically only if it is released on a handheld or next generation console. There are a handful of people who will buy multiple versions of the same game on different platforms at the same time, but this is an insignificant minority; and certainly not a good idea to build your business model around them. |
I can attest to this. I have 3 versions of chrono trigger for instance. The original SNES version, one on the PS1 from final fantasy chronicles compilation, and the DS version. Each time was a slight upgrade, even if that upgrade was a direct copy of a prev gen game from console to portable.
I'm not so thrilled about getting ports of PS3 games, but i'd _love_ to be able to play PS1 and PS2 games on the NGP, even though I can play all those games right now on my PS2 (and PC... ahem).
