He could\'ve realized a veryv respectabvle version of Munch on the PS2, made a heluva alot of cash, and befriended alot of diehard PS2 fans in the process
We\'ll see if his strategy pays out, the man deserves some razzin !!!!
He slammed PS2 because of the difficulty and high cost of development. Konami and Capcom and ND (now owned by Sony) have money to burn, Oddworld didnn\'t. XB offered a easier, more advanced system, plus the financial backing of MS. Why should Lanning have settled for PS2, and debt, when he had a option. And he had the balls to voice his opinion. It\'s not like he held regular press conferences dissing PS2, he said his opinions in interviews. PS2 fans may not like him, but he\'s getting more flak than Rubins, who I might add, dissed XB after
not working on it. Lanning dissed PS2 from experience.
