How fucking retarded.

First of all, I thought this was going to have a small print run on XBox as it is.

Second, the only way I can describe that logic is counter-intuitive:

"If this console port sells well on a machine which is shown to have a history of having shitty software sales, we'll gladly port the game to the other consoles (including the two which already have the first game of the series) where it would have sold better by default in the first place."

Sales is only part of it. Cost is the other factor. GC is easy to port Naomi games to, much more so than PS2 or Xbox. They're testing the waters with a low initial investment.

I thought that gamecube software sales were OK in Japan, despite the problems here (US).

I also thought that the system choice was decided by a poll or something?

Well then Alfa Systems should borrow the conversion methods that Capcom used for Cap SNK2 or Sega did for Ferrari F355, for example.

If other companies can manage it, why can't they?

It was, but that doesn't make the people that voted on the poll less retarded.

Besides, it's not like Alfa Systems was contractually obligated to obey the whims of their poll. When Tecmo put up a poll on their website as to where the new Ninja Gaiden should show up, GC was the majority vote.

It has been leaked/rumored by several sources that a Xbox version should pop up in November/December. His comments are all mindless PR geared to sell a few more Gamecube copies. A week after it's release a Xbox, PS2, or DC port wil probably be announced.

True, but honestly I wouldn't worry much. If the game sells 10,000 units the first week that should be enough. Hell, Ikaruga DC and Dodonpachi PS2 did 15,000 out the gate and they were considered successes. *-neo

Insert credit reports that a Shikigami no Shiro 2 ost will be released on new years eve.
I've only heard two tracks so far and those were pretty mediocre imo.
