[QUOTE="Arnwyn, post: 2948349, member: 7701"] Looks the the PS2 franchises I listed [i]are[/i] system sellers. People didn't buy the PS2 "just because". They bought it because it played the games/franchises people like... and a lot of them. (I agree with your single-game system seller list - less so for Metroid, though, which hasn't done very well recently - but what I listed where system-seller franchises. People will buy the system that wil have the games/game-types that they want to play - like the Suikoden series, DQ series, AC series, etc.) Based on your posts, I suspect very little will convince you re: Sony. In any case, I'm not actually trying to convince you of anything. I'm just pointing out (poorly I admit, in the above instance) that there are a lot of debatable/refutable statements being made in this thread. For example, contrary to what reanjr and yourself have posted, I have seen reported (on IGN, among other places) that the emulation for the PS3 will be very robust. *shrug* When we get conflicting reports (sometimes saying the [i]exact opposite[/i], all we can do is wait. Not clearly. But I mentioned it for a dash of humor, only (simply because IGN makes fun of it all the time when discussing 360 compatibility). They didn't sell a lick, is what failed. IGN was filled with tales of woe a little while after those games came out. With the 360 dead in Japan (and the 180 dead everywhere) and the Wii going in a different direction for games in general, MGS won't be multiplatform. As for MGS on other systems - IGN's your place. Oh, I know. But I'm sure you're quite aware how franchises tend to 'live on' (direct sequels or otherwise - though I hate hate hate when there are direct sequels on different generation systems. That sucks hard). And a Tales game for Wii would be great. [/QUOTE]
