I think sales have a great deal to do with it-that's just common knowledge. It's rare for a company to release a game they don't think will sell at least moderately well. Fatal Frame has quite a large fanbase and great sales, which is why it's getting harder and harder to find copies to buy.

Actually it's harder to find copies because the give them such a limited release. Word about Fatal Frame I got out, people wanted to play it, the problem was no one could find it. I looked in like five diffrent states before I got lucky and found a used copy. (To beat it all it was in my home state that I found it.)
However they got smart and gave it a larger release for the Xbox.

But the Xbox versions are ALSO getting harder to find.

Most of the games I download are ones that either never release outside of Japan, or either takes too long, or have been butchered in some way. I'm not a pirate who rents games and copies them or anything. If it's available here I buy it, provided one of the reasons I mentioned isn't in effect.

But Fatal Frame does not fall under any of those.

Yeah Fatal Frame Was left completely intact. The voice acting isn't bad, and the only thing that's changed out of any of them is the ghosts of the contest winners in Fatal Frame II.

''But Fatal Frame does not fall under any of those.''
That might be so but take into account we live in different countries. Here are games are PAL versions, which for the most part are total crap. Haven't looked into this game yet.

I totally agree with birdman, I too live in Europe and most of the games here are just inferior versions of both Japanese and US versions of that "X" game. Say for example, the famous RPG games called "Tales of..."- half of them weren't released in Europe and, and we just keep on getting less game by the minute, I also tend to download games through torrents, basically those who are not released in here. The worst thing, is that the next gen consoles are hard to hack to be able to play Region Locked games.

Most of them were not released in the US either, but we still manage.

PAL games suck let me give you a few examples and you might come to understand why I import or download them.
Shinobi - No Super Hard mode or Japanese audio. The US had both.
Kunoichi - Same as above, only I don't think the US had those either. The games name was changed to Nightshade which sounds gay.
DMC - Total slowdown frame rate which sucks.
DMC 3 - No Turbo mode.
Tekken Tag - 50hz unplayable trash.
Onimusha - voice acting is terrible, sometimes a character would be talking, but no sound comes out then when his mouth stops moving, then you hear what he said.
DBZ Tenkaichi 1 and 2 - Changed the original music from the anime with some cheesy rock tracks.
Devil Kings (Sengoku Basara) - Made the historical facts disappear. Changed character names to gay things like Lady Butterfly, Raging Ox and other that makes me sick to talk about.
This is only the tip of the iceberg. My friends who play a lot of different games have found other things.
''The worst thing, is that the next gen consoles are hard to hack to be able to play Region Locked games.''
I thought next gen consoles could play anything regardless of region?

PS3 can, I hear, but only with PS3 games. Either way, please stop all the "hack" and "download" talk.

I still don't think the third game was that good. It drew too much from Silent Hill.
