RE: Lower End AS/400s

Dale,

Units of the platform or units of the game? Deeper analysis
might indicate that as game design starts to take shape
that the "best" designs are bid out to be made platform
specific or more appropriately exclusive to give the platform
an advantage. I would still love to see the exact figures
since at 2m Xbox...4m PS/2.. 1m gamecube etc to give away
a potential market would be something very hard to swallow.

Regards

Konrad

Check again, other than generic sports games, developers have found that
platform exclusive games sell more units. Strange but true.
