Well the TGS has come and gone yet no word on if SVC is going to come to the DC. I have high hopes for this port.. anyone else still with me??? Lets somehow be heard!!!
Fygee said:I think its time to put the DC to rest. The system had its day in the sun (however short), and making games for it just doesn't rake in the moolah it used to. Putting forth the manpower just to appease a couple hundred DC users on the internet isn't really very business savvy, especially since they can apply that manpower to more important things.

Like developing for the Neo? A smaller userbase on the internet that is willing to shell out 6 to 7 time more $'s for a game?
You're right they should stop DC production, no use in developing games for a dead system that only gets 4 or 5 releases a year.
this does sound kind of funny, i mean cmon 2k2 sold 15,000 copies within the first few weeks as I remember for the DC, and they felt it was a success and said as long as their is support or they see a demand they will do it. Im sure making some GD-roms is a bit cheaper then neo homecarts and your making it sound like there is a much higher number in demand for neo homecarts then DC ports?
Fygee said:That's just it though. While the Neo has a fairly small userbase, the products they buy sell for much higher prices. If the games sold for the same price as your standard DC port ($30-$40 US roughly), they'd only make an eighth to a tenth of the money from your standard MVS/AES cart.
