Most web forums follow what is going on in the general culture. The 360 is the dominate console in the US so forums will reflect that. If you went to a forum based in Europe in the 80's you would have people talking about the Master System and Amiga instead of the NES.
This does not compute OJG.

You state that forums follow popular culture, therefore the most popular platform is the one loved by most forum goers.

Yet MagGnome stated that EvAv strongly favored the original Xbox, even though Sony's PS2 was the most popular console.

I didn't see multiplayer nor did I hear mention of it.
This is the same way as how Pikmin 2 works. The multiplayer in that game is a separate, competitive mode.

Here's what they said in 2004:

Q: You have some battle modes in the game, which are welcomed. Any reason, though, that there is no cooperative mode to go through the main game?

Tezuka: We actually had wanted to include a two-player cooperative mode at one point, but looking at the game system and what some of our objectives were in the game, we decided instead to move the two-player into other areas of the game.

Hino: We did experiment with a two-player gameplay in the main game, but what we found was that if we were to design the entire single-player game around the possibility of a two-player cooperative mode, that would put limits on what we could do with the single-player game. Ultimately, based on those limits we decided that moving the multiplayer into a separate mode with the versus and cooperative maps, we could actually create a more interesting and fun single-player game.

You worked for Triumph, right? I recall you saying that you worked on the Age of Wonders games. You've been my hero ever since.
