When you ask them why, they all say "Oh, all these new systems are coming out that\'re even more powerful than the PlayStation 2, we\'ll be able to create things that\'ll attract even more people to games," and so on.I\'ve been consistently saying this is wrong, but most of them look at what I say and respond "No, no, you\'re wrong", and as a result, this is what\'s happening today. There really are just an overwhelmingly huge number of people out there that know nothing about the business of games The game business is a tough one, and it\'s not been around for that long, either, so there are people out there that find this industry incredibly interesting. Venture capitalists, in particular. That\'s why these people are pouring money into the field right now.
The most impressive phenomenon that occured last year, in my opinon, was when Enix released Dragon Quest [VII] on the original PlayStation, and not the PlayStation 2. It was the newest game in the series, but it ended up selling far more than I predicted -- something like three million or so copies. However, when you look only at its graphics and sound, it looks very rudimentary compared with other PS games. If you compare it to other titles, you\'ll find that there are hundreds of PlayStation games that have far more impressive graphics.
As a DVD player it\'s well worth the money; as a game system it has a few problems. It\'s just too hard to make software for it.
