Nah, jking! I dislike Sony because of their arrogance when launching the PS3. For that, they deserve to be taken down several pegs this generation. Fuckers.

 

Sega killed Sega. Get over it!

 

Sega killed Sega?

 

Sony's Financial muscle Killed Sega........ Sega made mistakes yes but they didn't have anywhere near the same kind of money that Sony has.......... Therefore once Sony took over the damn advertising world (you know, billboards, t.v. commercials, sponsorships like the champions league ect) Sega due to lack of funds would have died out no matter what they did or how good thier games were/are

Sony have made mistakes but its swept under the carpet because they have so much damn money thier mistakes can always be rectified

When the PS1 came out how many of its 1st top games were actually made by Sony? Tekken was one of the games that really helped Sony get a strong foothold in the gaming world but it was made by Namco not Sony

Another game that was a success for sony was Crash bandicoot (Again not made by Sony but Sony advertised the hell out of the game)

How about when Sony started to branch out with other genres like gun games like time crisis (A game made by namco of course) Sony in the beginning got to where they were because they were buying 3rd party exclusives left, right and centre

Segas own in house teams like AM2 are the only reason that Sega didn't die out sooner than they actually did.....

So no, Sega did not kill Sega.......... Sony killed Sega

 

That's business! If Sega had not put out two consecutive pieces of crap and pissed off all of there dev's, maybe they could have had some revenue to put into marketing. Sony has made mistakes just like every company on the planet. The difference is they do enough things right to correct mistakes. This is what successfull companies do.

So I guess you should hate Namco and all the other 3rd party dev's for not supporing SEGA. Dev' don't really care about who they make games for, they care about money. Sega cost a lot of dev's a lot of money by quikly releasing multiple consoles. Why would they want to dump more money into a new console when they haven't recouped any of there money from the last one. Not to mention the dev's probably had little faith in the Dreamcast considering the previous two were junk.

Again, Sega killed Sega with poor business decisions.

 

And let's not forget that EA completely pulled their support from Sega.  That was a BIG one.
