They didn’t with Metroid Prime Trilogy on the Wii. I wonder what you are basing this on?

TIE Fighter was better than X Wing, the bad guys get the more interesting story, purely because it is less told. Lucas Arts skirted the issue by having you chase down a rebel faction of Imperials, I suppose they couldn’t do that again. Motive should have had 2 separate campaigns and leaned hard into it but meh.

So how do you think you’ll buy it in 2 years, it either won’t be available or it will be a damn sight more than $45

It’s only available until March next year.

Consoles can be come profitable later in their lifecycle when manufacturing processes are perfected and parts become cheaper, they aren’t always sold at a loss.

I regularly have to take my PS4 Pro to bits and clean it to stop the fan going mental. My One X and PC on the other hand are whisper quiet. Your fan going mental is a sign of overheating, jsut because it hasn’t gone abng yet doesn’t mean it won’t.
