We all know why resi 4 is coming to PS2 because capcom want to actually make some money on the game.
Nintendo exclusive pay-off was obviously not enough.

My N64 is permanently plugged in underneath my Gamecube (When I say underneath I mean that it is on the shelf below).

I just laughed my head off.

Its nice to see N64 ports, because not many of us are going to dust off our N64s to play the old classics - a handheld gives us the excuse to re-live those happy memories. PS2 ports are different. Why would i want to play a PS2 port that came out last year on the PS2 and is now being re-released on the PSP with 90 minutes play time? THAT makes no sense whatsoever.

Your a funny guy, if the DS is such a revolution why are most of it's games ports example Meteroid Prime sure I have heard of that before, was that not Nintendo's pathetic attempt at beating halo (original).
Then there is the issue of playing movies and mp3, if the DS is a pure games machine why has panasonic developed a cartridge that will work with the DS so it can play movies and mp3 Nintendo are just a bunch of hypocrites alway have been always will be.

That was GBA and GBA SP.
Gameboy and Gameboy Colour are counted seperately as they are from another generation, are no longer in production and are just a tad on the old side. It'd be like counting SNES sales in with Gamecube sales.
in the end the cube is a minority
> console and resi game sales have suffered for it.
Well, I must admit, I haven't bought it yet.
Nor have a lot of people I know - so yeah, I suppose sales have suffered quite a lot so far.
You've got a point there. Sales on Resi 4 are terrible.

Yes, 'something different' being inferior ports of old PS2 games. or 'something different' being a low-capacity, very expensive MP3 player? or 'something different' being a portable UMD movie player with enough battery life for only a sub-120 minute film?
I can certainly see the 'Playstation Difference' alive and well in the PSP.
It shud count GBA and SP.....and also gameboy colour and the others....cuz i say so ;)
