I can see the boardroom discussion now (please know this has been translated into English):
Person 1 - So we have this great idea: We're going to make controllers for our new console that allow users to play older games that they've bought or downloaded.
Person 2 - That's great. Now how much will we charge.
Person 1 - That's the best part: We won't. You see, we'll make it really exclusive so that only a handful of people can get them.
Person 2 - Yes! That way we won't increase console or game sales at all. Brilliant.
Person 1 - Yes. In fact, now that I think about it we could only make 1 controller & then publicly run over it with our super modded 1984 mini-van.
