| foxtail said: I do agree with your point that game development time & cost are one reason we don't see as many post gen games for older systems, and did enjoy reading the rest of your post. But if you ignore 3rd party games, even the list of PS2 games released after the PS3 looks less than impressive. From the Sony 1st party studios there were:
The only post PS3 Sony game made exclusively for the PS2 that I can remember is God of War II, though I'm probably forgetting some.. Was there any other big Sony 1st party PS2 games released that were not already available in some form before November 2006, or also not available on the PSP? |
Bit off topic but think about Sega porting some of its bigger Mega Drive games (Streets of Rage, Sonic, Altered Beast) to the Master System, lol.
No idea to be honest, maybe your right. I guess the reason Sony is so successful with their older consoles once the next gen is out is because of pushing them in developing markets? Didn't PS2 go on the sell an additional 30-40m after the PS3 launch? Quite amazing when you think of what XBox and GC sold lifetime.
One interesting point none of us have touched on is backwards compatibility. Maybe the PS2 continued to sell so well because the PS3 wasn't (fully) backwards compatible and with the Wii U being B/C its surely within Nintendos interest to get the Wii off the market and push that function of the Wii U.
