A nice little, "If I knew whether we were going to be developing for DS would I actually tell you?" sort of answer to an obvious question.

On Rare, remember what MS said about 5 games by Spring 2005?
Rare say:
What nobody seems to remember is that it wasn't us who said we'd crank out five games over two/three years - when we saw that reported we were all going "Five games? Really? Blimey." Nevertheless, we'd probably have gone for it if it wasn't for the fact that with all the activity over the last few years, it hasn't exactly been business as usual. Teams have been restructured and sized up, projects redesigned and/or carried over to the new system, all this first in preparation for the acquisition then afterwards in an attempt to find our feet in the MGS line-up - and it didn't make things any easier that we'd jumped right into the middle of a console's lifecycle. Anyway, the dust is still settling, but our internal schedules are looking pretty solid now and over the next year or so we'll really start getting back into our stride.
I wonder how much the Xbox is going to get out of this?
Having said that, I don't think MS mind.
Haven't they always maintained that the xbox was the warm up for round 2?
Like a Mars Bar but with peanuts.
Yummy. :P
That says to me that they do have plans...or at the very least, they have intention to develop for DS and just have to clear it with Microsoft.
If they didn't have plans, why would they keep quiet?
