I doubt many games will be developed that absolutely require the HDD - since it will always be a minority of PS2 owners who buy the peripheral.

So since developers will have two types of PS2 owners - those with and those without the HDD - they will have to develop for both. Meaning if they include a feature in future sports games that saves highlight data to the HDD - they will also have to develop for those without that accessory. Then it's a matter of deciding if it is worth development time to support the HDD at all.

I doubt it. If they wont support the cube, then why waste resources on a harddrive peripheral? It's not like the usb headset or something that just plugs in, it would require some serious programming work all for the .000001% of users that actually buy the thing. Plus they'll have to test out every feature on two separate platforms, oh yeah and then test how online works with it.
