Well then we'll just disagree. I think of it like toll roads...let the people who use it pay for it. Don't charge everyone more if they're not going to use it. It helps keep the cost of the base system down and will help sell more systems. Personally, I bought my multitap with my PS2 because I know I'll use it.

I have to disagree... the multitap is like any other peripherial, they won't be purchased by enough people to warrant the additional cost of including supporting code in a wide variety of games. PSX had a multitap and I can't recall any games that used it after the first wave of releases. And SNES had one too, but only game I recall using it was Bomberman (granted, that was enough to warrant the purchase). Peripherals have almost always failed on consoles.
