Ever wondered how developers choose which games to revive from the past to put on the Xbox live arcade and the Playstation Network? Ever wondered why your favourite game never makes the grade?

Well, Capcom has revealed its secret for choosing which games make the cut from its long library of past titles - eBay!

Speaking with the MTV Multiplayer blog , John Diamonon, Associate Product Manager at Capcom.says that as well as looking at gaming polls from around the web and listening to its community, he says that:

“Sometimes we see games on eBay, and that’s how you see what games people are willing to spend $80. It’s certainly not the only thing we do. But sometimes we look there to assess the market value of a game.”

So, if you want your favourite Capcom game to get an outing on Xbox 360 or PS3 the answer is simple. Keep banging on about it on the official Capcom forums and get bidding on eBay.

Incidentally Capcom celebrated its 25th birthday yesterday! Congratulations from all at HEXUS.gaming.
