The manufacturing cost of Jaguar games is so high that the remaining Jag
users, die hards or not, will probably not buy them. Because of this, and
because the 2600 enjoyed such a larger market share for far longer than
the Jag did, and because the 2600 enjoys more of a retro chic and the Jag
just looks like a dated next-gen machine, I believe there is MORE of a
market out there for new 2600 carts than for new Jag carts.
It sounds crazy, but it's got to be true.
I think the only Jag game that will sell in large numbers will be
Battlesphere.
