Nathan, would have to assume (1) that LEGO is going by projections of
possible sales and the number of consoles in the market when they
decide what to develop for. Also the projections are made in advance
so if they are wrong it may already be to late given the lead times in
developing games. Besides, if they want to develop for the PSOne they
automatically develop for the PS2 :^) But you probably already know
that :^)
