They're called multiformat releases you illiterate monkey. No one's copying the PS2's games cause they never where the PS2s games.

Depends how you look at it. From the point of view of an X-Box owner, the games originate on X-Box and spread to PS2. With something like TimeSplitters, which started life on PS2, I think we can truthfully say its a PS2 game ported onto other consoles, but in many cases, we get multiformat games that started elsewhere.

I guess the reason that the multiformat stuff works against us more often than with us is that Sony already has a huge hand over the industry, and has most places developing games for the PS2. Other consoles however are scrambling to pick up what they can, and they are beginning to get their claws into the developers that may have once developed games solely for PS2.

You can take this further back though when the PS1 was doing it the other way round. The new guy on the market, the PS1 took everything, and totally trashed the opposition. X-Box is failing to do this, but it is managing to split the developers a little.
