Yep, Sega have gone an released one of the 'Cubes most original and fun games onto the XBOX and PS2 - Super Monkey Ball.

Yep, Super Monkey Ball Deluxe will be rolling onto XBOX and PS2 pretty soon. A package that conatins SMB 1 and 2, plus with over 60 extra floors.

The 'why' is a mystery, because Sega fetched in cash-a-plenty from the SMB games and were very surprised to see it had developed such a large fanbase.

Does anyone know why Sega are releasing this on XBOX/PS2?

Erm, yes lol.

It kind of turned into an arguement due to different points of view.

Sounded like petty bitching to me.

I wouldn't call it bitching.

More of a 'I'm right you're stupid' scenario.

Sega are releasing this simply because it sold a lot of copies on the Gamecube, which is far less popular than the PS2 and around the same units wise as the Xbox. SMB doesn't really have much in the way of competition, so they probably figure it will sell not too badly on the PS2 and Xbox, at least enough to make it worth while and make them money.

But when you have a game like Sega GT 2002, which is in a crowded genre, it probably wouldn't sell enough to make a PS2 port worth while. The same could be said about Jet Set Radio Future, or Panzer Dragoon Orta etc.

Bottom line is Sega are just trying to make money, and this is one way they probably will.
