I take great heart that someone here can make a concise statement that rebutts all arguments no matter the viewpoint, well done.

I'm not sure that losing money on a console is greed, now if they had profited at the early price point yes, you can make a case for overconfident though.

If you are confused about that PS3 example,I was talking about how the massive hit of the PS2 made Sony do a lot of stupid stuff during the development and launch of the PS3, by assuming the consumers and third parties would just support the console by default.

I understand that the high price tag and scarcity adds to their games' prestige, but shit, this is getting beyond a joke.

I know it’s off topic and sorry if I sound like an a$@ but I think that’s a bit disingenuous. How do you know that?

Personally, there’s a lot I can look forward to from the direct. And I got the Switch back in its launch year.

I know everyone has different tastes and all, but damn not much from this direct will satisfy switch owners since launch? I probably would’ve been really happy during the Wii U days if this was presented back then. That’s how bad the Wii U days were. You were lucky to get one or two really big announcements or exclusive games or even ports of games that people thought wouldn’t come to a Nintendo platform.

im not saying he grateful, but I think there’s a bit of an overreaction on the other end of the spectrum.

A lot of people claimed that SS could never be ported due to the motion controls and how the game was built around them. Said it would be too much work or something like that. They would have to revamp the entire control scheme, which may not look like much on the surface but puts it above a simple HD port.

So now that they did that, is that all of a sudden not a big deal or are we just ignoring it for the sake of complaining?

Asking for a friend.

So the solution is to act like they did not put in the work to add them at all?

 Yes but like I said that's not greed, over expectation yes and even that was somewhat understandable at the time, lead by Ken Kutaragi who was coming off   having helped engineer 2 of the all time most successful consoles with the PS2 being the most successful console of all, also the Cell wasn't custom made for the   PS3 alone, it was a Sony joint product with Toshiba and IBM and was planned to be integrated into a range of different devices from computer arrays through   to   smart appliances and thus bring down the costs quite considerably, these actions and the outcomes that sprang from them are to blame for the PS3 price rather     than excessive greed above the usual level found in corporate life.

Well I agree that the motion controls worked well, and that is how the game should be experienced.  I do look forward to directly comparing both control schemes to see just how well they work with the way the game is set up though.

I guess I just have a different way of looking at it.  Where some people see it as an HD port, I see it as an HD port with a new control scheme added to the game that also allows me to play anywhere I want.

I can see the usefulness of great classic games remasters for people that never played them before, but I would never buy again full price an old game I already own. Probably I wouldn't buy it again at all.
