2. Popular Games Will Rule
If the developers made a poll and the 30 characters who had the highest votes would make it, what would happen? That's right, every character from Final Fantasy VII would be in. Not only that, but three versions of Sephiroth would probably make it as well due to reason number four - lack of diversity. Imagine the chaos that would ensue. Really, imagine it. The gamers who know this game is supposed to celebrate iconic PlayStation characters would rage....hard. Given the previous three reasons - and the three types of gamers there are - the roster would probably end up having very few exclusive characters. In current times, PlayStation exclusive characters are far too few as games usually end up being ported to or from the Xbox 360. Furthermore, back when the PlayStation was clearly the most popular console, exclusives were the reason to get a PS1 or PS2. What this generation made were the reason for number three - obscure characters. The casual gamers however, would vote for the three Sephiroths.
