See this is the thing. When you have a remake (which has cost next to nothing to make) and it sells more than 900k why bother making a next-generation version? You know I wonder sometimes whether the gamer really does lose out with certain successes. The DS has just got to big for its own good (well the industry) and it can be argued that we are not getting these franchises in AAA next-generation form...

It is a similar story with the likes of Monster Hunter.
