Yeah, it is a shame.  But you have to remember how big of a change this is.  For the past 10 years (probably even before that), games were designed to load up a level before you play on it instead of while you\'re playing on it.  It will take time for developers to adjust, but they will eventually.  Either that, or completely ignore the PS2\'s 15 million userbase and go program on an easier-to-program-for console. :)


Eventually?  Don\'t you mean as long as PS2 has a bigger installed base right?  Because if GCN and Xbox catch up with the PS2 sales-wise, what makes you think that developers will want to bother.  Like the Saturn, the PS2 has a lot of potential, but if there are other viable (easier and cheaper) solutions out there, what makes you think that developers will waste their time learning how to do these things?
When all is said and done...the PS2 will be remembered as the console with the best games in Fall 2001.

Because in return they would make the big bucks..... Developers can\'t ignore how many systems people own.... And they will use that to there advantage.
.... take the skin and peel and back...

now doesn\'t it make you feel better?

I can\'t see the future, but I don\'t think the Xbox or NGC will ever have a bigger userbase than the PS2.  The PS2 is already too far ahead to be beat now.  As long as the PS2 has great games that can compete with both the NGC\'s and Xbox\'s games, the PS2 will steal a lot of potential sales from them -- making it very hard for them to ketch up.
