Whatever . You care to explaine why PS 4 cost so much , maybe VIC got a point . No other 24 Meg Mega Drive Japanese game cost anywhere near as much as PS4

Multiple people have posted in this thread that other games at the time retailed for the same price or more and that the only justification for many was simply that they are JRPGs.

What Mega Drive RPG's cost $100 . I can't think of any myself (that's not to say there wasn't at least 1)

Sony would end up buying Psygnosis by the generation transition though so they'd inherit anything Psygnosis had as well.

On the very slim chance he's telling the truth, charging $100 for a game so you can say it failed later on would definitely make sense when it comes to why Sega stopped producing consoles after 2001.

Sega made some terrific games in their time but as a company they are real fucking dumb.

jesus, did it really launch at that?! my neighbor got a copy around christmas or so, i had no idea. game was so impressive at the time!

Virtua Racing also had a coprocessor in it. Kind of sucks it was a rather straight port of the arcade though (it's hard to justify paying $100 for a racing game that has just three tracks and one car type).

Please ! . VR had the SVP it isn't a RPG and thanks to the SVP chip it was reflected in its insane price for the game in Japan, UK and USA that simply wasn't the case for PS4 which only cost a ridiculous amount inthe USA.
