You probably all disagree... but hey, its an opinion...

I dont like the fact that just because they can make a few 1000 dollars/pounds/euros either way they should move a game series to another system. Why dont they get busy and make some more good games that people will like and by doing that they should make more than that few 1000 here or there. Then they could make a sequel and by creating the other game it may open the door to another sequel in a few years... and so on... and so on... and so on.

Anyways I think that the biggest mistake yet (it has been rectified now) is that Hideo Kojima took Substance to the other gaming machines in the world. It was a big mistake and he soon realised what he has done. But why on Earth did he have to say... ooh lets make TS for the gamecube - becasue of moneymaking. Thats the biggest problem with everything these days - and as they say... money us the root of all evil. But lets not forget, this has been argued already in another forum part of this site - that the original MG was on the NES - so why even move to Sony... you get the pattern. Anyways as they do not care video game companies will continue to do this but my main view is. If a company makes a game and it is a massive hit. When they make a sequel, surely should it not be on the same system? For example, if Rockstar made the GTA series up to this point on PC and PS/2 they should continue to do and when GTAIV comes out they shouldnt say - ooh we can make this much more money probably if we go to Xbox or Gamecube or whatever than if we stay with Sony. Its just not right becasue consumers will expect it to be on the same system they dont want to have to buy another system if they havent got the system the game requires. Anyways you probably get the drift of what Ive said here so Ill leave it at that.
