I'm not quite sure I understand.  Are ports automatically bad?


I think the point is that including ports of games in a Buyer's Guide makes little sense if you can play it elsewhere.

I'm sorry, but that's a flawed argument.  You can't assume that a person has another system and, even if you could, you can't assume that they would buy it on that other system.  If the comparison is handhelds, then other versions on home consoles are irrelevant.  I've never played Persona 4 until I bought it on the Vita.  Even if I had, the Vita version is superior, as is Muramasa Rebirth or the Vita version of DoA.


But you can't deny the fact that trying to convince someone to buy a certain platform with ports vs exclusives (or a cheaper original), the ports don't usually win out... even if it is a better game.  The thing is that the arguments for including ports is too case-by-case.
