The decision Sony finally came to is the one already in play, HD ReMastering.
"Re Mastering didn't come up until about two years ago. For a developer, ReMastering in HD took a moderate amount of time and effort to achieve, and with the right title it could be very successful. Once we noticed the benefits of HD ReMastering, the decision was made to use God of War 1 & 2 as the test for the market, and they delivered."
The God of war Collection has sold almost 2 million copies to date.
"The God of War Collection had reached almost a million copies sold just after the holiday.Shortly aftter that Activision, EA , UbiSoft, Konami, and SquareEnix were all on board to issue ReMastered Edition of their best Playstation 2 Games."
The idea of burning the PlayStation fan was an issue considered; however, Sony felt issuing a firmware update only helped retailers like GamesStop sell more copies of games Sony and other developers spent time and money making.
"The industry's best developers are ReMastering their best games. Prince of Persia, Shadow of Colossus, and ICO are just the beginning. When fans see what Konami's doing to the Metal Gear series, and what Square's doing with Final Fantasy, they're going to be very happy."
