For All the Naysayers, TMNT is going to be on XBOX...

A lot of what people here have been saying is true though, and not just ignorant thoughts or whatever you prefer to call them. Of what we know so far it will be sold on 5 systems: PC, GBA, X-box, Ps2, and GC. If they dedicate the same amount of game units for each system (which I think will happen between the consoles but not with the PC version), then each system owns 20% of the games. Having known Konami finds it difficult, costly, and not very time effective to make games for X-box, it might get the least sales. (Although I personally feel that the PC will get the worst by far unless it has a multi-player feature) So yes, it will be more sales overall, that is stating the obvious though. The problem is that if it doesn't sell well then a huge chunk of the game units they paid for go to waste, thus losing a lot of money. Again, most kids have GC or Ps2, their will be a much higher demand for units with GC and Ps2, if there is only a 20% supply though, that would mean Konami having to pay more money than it should have had to. I probably stretched this into some wierd scenario, but I don't know how 3rd party companies deal with 3 different consoles, so I made my own presumption.
