There's no doubt that an influx of pc ports and American style games would come from an American console from primarily a PC software manufacturer.
But I guess games like Otogi, its sequel, Dead or Alive, Soul Calibur 2, Onimusha, Ninja Gaiden, Breakdown, Marvel vs. Capcom 2,Metal Gear Solid 2, etc, etc, etc, only apply to American tastes...
God, one out of four doesn't sell as well as expected, and they decide to sell the farm... I'm glad they're going under. Good riddance. Lucas already dug his hole with the new movies...
By the by, start spreading the word: don't see Episode III. I want to see some real momentum behind this. And why not SW games, as well? They're crap too, nowadays!
"After careful evaluation of current market place realities and underlying economic considerations, we've decided that this was not the appropriate time to launch a graphic adventure on the PC" - Mike Nelson, Luca$Farts acting manager on the cancellation of Sam & Max 2.
Seriously, this guy was probably promoted for this, and the guys that were let go were probably the only ones to suggest not making a Star Wars game ripped of from another popular game.
Let's see: Republic Commando? Dumbed down Rainbow Six... Battlefront? Battlefield 1942...
Most companies get back to what made them popular after such setbacks. I guess we'll have to see...
Well, if The Family Guy can come back, then anything is possible (crossing fingers for the next few years, as before).
