FF Remake?

[Slothy]

I wouldn't buy a PSP or a DS to play handheld versions of FFV or VI when I can still play the old versions of the games.

Not to sound rude, but Square don't need you to buy a PSP or DS to buy new releases of older FF titles. There's plenty of market out their for either platform seeing as how there are more DS's out there than any current gen console, and even the PSP isn't exactly left out in the cold with almost as many sold as there are Wii's out there. Even tapping into a small fraction of those markets nets them more profit than similar sales on a current gen system thanks to lower dev costs, and prices that are pretty high in relation to the cost to produce.

Whereas a DS or PSP game may only need 50,000 units sold to turn a nice profit, a PS3 game as an example would be at least an order of magnitude higher before turning a profit given the difference in design budgets. We're talking about the games that can be produced for a couple of million on the DS and PSP tops, and games next gen titles that can cost upwards of $20 million. If I really had to choose which to produce based on profit alone I'd go with the cheaper game with a larger potential audience hands down. Not only are they cheaper, but you can put the budget for a next gen title towards several smaller titles too. Sometimes it's best not to put all of your eggs in one basket afterall.

So draw your own conclusions.

Not trying to sound rude, but posting a list isn't exactly an argument. What point were you trying to make with this?
