So my question is, what does this event look like from the perspective of the other side, and have we observed it happening here? Well, all things considered, the Big Bang currently looks like a promising candidate for a singularity, don't you think?
Furthermore, who on earth is going to pay ($1.00 or more?) to play arcade ports of games that are available for a home system? Just go buy an Xbox and the games and you don't have to pay to play.
Of course Sega could do the arcade version FIRST and then port it easily to the home system later. They have done it several times before, now it would just be easier. And of course you get all the extra goodies when playing the arcade version, like steering wheel and in racing-games, lightgun in shooting, etc.
