[QUOTE="Shadowhawk2606"][QUOTE="The_Pig_Hostage"][QUOTE="Shadowhawk2606"][QUOTE="The_Pig_Hostage"] [QUOTE="Shadowhawk2606"]I could be wrong on this, but something tells me the reason Sony is being so slow on releasing PS1 games on PSN. Is because they'd rather you buy PS3 titles for the system, instead of playing older PS1, or PS2 titles. Of course it's seems to be a whole different ball game over in Japan where I guess the Japanese PS3 owners have alot more PS1 games do play on there PS3's, as compared to U.S. PS3 owners.The_Pig_Hostage
I don't think people are going to pass up PS3 games in favor of PS1 downloads. And all the old games available for download on the Wii and 360 services haven't stopped people from buying new games for those systems...
Hey just pointing out what Sony's logic might be.
Yeah but that would be pretty lousy logic. I'm sure they have a reason (copyright issues, maybe?), but it can't be that
I wouldn't be so quick to rule out copyright issues. Sometimes game studios are bought out by other studios. Which forces you to have to get permission from that new owner. If you want to use there product. On paper it might not seem like that would be a big issue, but if the new owner, is more stubborn with giving you permission to use there game, as compared to the old owner. That's when problems might come up. You see it was probably alot easier for Sony to get alot of support from game studios back in the PS1, and PS2 day's because they dominated the console market then. That's not the case so far with the PS3. Heck I want be surprised if some of the older PS1 game makers are trying to make deals with Nintendo to move there previously PS1 exclusive title over to the virtual console on the Wii since the Wii is doing so insanely well.
Yeah, I wasn't ruling out copyright issues - that seems fairly likely to be the issue (or part of it). I was ruling out the idea of Sony holding back PS1 games because they don't want to distract gamers from PS3 games.
I guess we just misunderstood each other, no biggie though. You seem like pretty level headed guy which is a great thing, because level headed people is something that alot of game forums severly lack. The amount of people who have bought into this whole BS console war nonsense, is beyond rediculous. I honestly think that if you got some of these harcore fanboys in one room, they'd probably start physically beating one another up. Why some people get so hot and bothered over something as trivial as agame console, something that's meant to have fun with is just stupid.
