Scary, no?
Oddworld Inhabitants did get a more powerful console when they switched to XBOX but they took a major gamble. Some fans with Playstation 2s just threw their arms in the air and said, "Fine, if you guys are going to betray your fans, I'm not buying your stuff anymore." I, being completely out of my mind, purchased an XBOX just for the Oddworld series (I didn't own a PS2 besides it) but I just might go as far as to say that switching to XBOX was a misstep by the company. It did improve the game graphically and mechanically but committing corporate suicide is never worth these results. I'm not even saying that OI did this, but it's a possibility that they did. That's all I'm saying. Also, on the console longevity issue, something bigger and better will always be on the way, so it's a waste of time to worry about it until we can actually see it coming.
