They can make as many excuses as they like, but removing the original so people buy the sequel instead is bad news whichever way you look at it.

Imagine if EA were to remove Fifa 10 from store shelves when Fifa 11 launched, just so people would adopt the new (more expensive) version.

I see no reason why this should be allowed.

A sad marketing trick. Tried to force people buy the first one. I'll skip the sequel as well for this gimmick.

Quite possibly the stupidest 'marketing maneouvre' I've ever seen. Rolando 2 will be all over the Hot List and the Top Ten, allover the iPhone gaming sites and the Apple news sites, and the exposure will drive sales of both apps. What sort of absolute moron tries to reduce their potential income by killing one of their apps?

Incidentally I found Rolando to be a frustrating play, constantly battling against the bloody things as they rolled all over the place. Looked gorgeous, frustrated the shit out of me. Like most women in the street during this heatwave, really.

The problem with Iphone is that these games won't sell the quantity they want should of put it on PSP store or DSiWare if they really wanted it to succeed
