Kay.

More systems.....less games. Now we get 3-4 weeks of Master System games.

And C64 games will be 500 points? O_o

Niffty, we re getting em cheaper, providing Europe gets them for 400 point (Come on Ninty/Sega, this was the country that made the SMS a sucess! At least give us the same treatment as America!)

Yes, this is where I am lost as well.

Its Nintendo's Console, so they have the right to make their NES games look more better (In terms of price) then the SMS games.

And note, Japan only pays 600 points for MD games. Will this mean price for all Sega consoles will differ in Japan and the West? o.o

I think it really depends on the market. Maybe they thought Japanese gamers wouldn't pay 800WP for Genesis games. I have a feeling this means European gamers may have to pay 500WP for SMS games, simply because the system did so well there and Nintendo figures they'll be willing to part with the extra buck... Sorry chaps. I hope I'm wrong.
