Notice anything retarded?
After Burner on PSP? Wii perhaps?
Jet Set Radio Next on 360 and PS3? Cell shaded? Graffiti? Wii OR DS perhaps?
Samba De Amigo Fever on PSP? Come ON! Do I even need to say what we're all thinking?
Sega Rally Revo on Xbox 360, PS3, PSP, PC? Everything BUT Nintendo? Motion controls? Rally game? they won't even try it?
Sonic the RPG on Xbox 360, PS3? Isn't anything Sonic on the 'HD' consoles retarded? Don't they know that 360 and PS3 owners are too 'MATURE' for fury animals? We laugh it off but look at the last Sonic (though so far as I know this is a DS game, so perhaps this is evidence of this list's falsity).
Space Channel 5 Part 3 (Xbox 360, PS3) Vs Space Channel 5 Showtime (Wii, DS, PSP)? Again? Obvious rythm/movement/quirky game somehow being given main show on the 'super' consoles (where no-one makes a full-price game purchase on a risk like something weird vs something 'hardcore'). Again? another crap spinoff for Wii, being treated equivalent to PSP?
The House of the Dead 4 for Xbox 360, PS3? COME ON!!!!! (btw, I've been saying for a while I have no doubts in my mind whatsoever that Virtua Cop games will hit PS3 before Wii...or DS - that's my prediction and I'm sticking to it).
First I'd like to say this list is supposedly only a rumour. Second I'd like to say that given Sega's penchant for stupid console support decisions, I find it completely believable and completely depressing. I mean, these are the same people who decided Myst for PSP was a better idea than Myst for DS (which is finally happening).
Other than those SEVEN titles, the rest of the list doesn't seem too unreasonable to me. Even the assumption that the entire Dreamcast/Shenmue fanbase moved to 360. Several games I'm looking forward to in fact.
So, VGChartz, what are your favourite Sega console support decisions (by favourite, I mean stupid)? Personally my brother and I have been looking forward to Jet Set Radio for DS for 3 years (yes, before it launched).
