PSP Dissidia: Final Fantasy Universal Tuning - Import Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» In a 1998 interview in Next Generation Magazine, Trip Hawkins (founder of EA) said the following: "The way I look at it is when you make a sequel you can't sell them the same game because they already own it. What they want is to continue to play the game they know they like. It shouldn't surprise us. If you look at our parents or their parents and the kind of games that they play, they will pick a sport like golf or a game like chess, and they will play it their whole life. If somebody is a golfer, they might well try another course or buy a new set of clubs, but they still want to play the same game."

In the past few years, Square's business model has one where a sizable amount of the company's revenue and profits have come from remakes, re-releases, and rehashes. As Trip said a decade ago, people want to play the same game and Square is more than happy to oblige. True to form, Dissidia Final Fantasy Universal Tuning is a re-release of the USA version of Dissidia into the Japanese marketplace. It's also the second time Dissidia has been released in Japan this year. NCS expects no less than two more re-releases under "The Best" and Square's own budget re-release label within the next 2 years.
