Well that would explain why Sega are being so sweet to them now.

*points to Valkyria Chronicles and Shenmue 3 - sorry, I mean Yakuza 3*

I think that the Ps3 is an equivilant of the Dreamcast, but at the same time I think it will not share a similar fate, because of three things - 1. The console that is supposedly going to kill it is dying before it finished the job, 2. Multiplatform games are becoming mandatory on all third party releases, with high profile games being the only real exceptions (for more reference, look at Condemned 2, Saints Row 2, Dead Rising 2 and Mass Effect 2 - first two became multiplat, last two have been stated by their respective publishers will be multiplat), and thus studios will be forced to develop for it - hell, even Valve said they'll have to learn the ways of the cell, and 3. Sony are just a bigger market force than Sega. Sega was one studio, Sony Computer Entertainment is made up of 30, most of whom are the definitive studios in their genre.

1. Dead Rising 2 isn't announced, so it's impossible for you to say what platforms it is or isn't on. For all you know it's an N-Gage exclusive.

2. Mass Effect 2 has not been announced for PS3. It's currently announced for 360 and PC only.

3. Sega is not one studio. You obviously know nothing about Sega and haven't played many of their games. Sega has 17 studios. Did you really think one studio was pumping out games every month? Did you really think the same studio that created Virtua Fighter 5 was working on Sonic Unleashed?

 

 

The lack of knowledge that some people have for one of the greatest developers of all time (Sega) baffles me............. Theres tonnes of Sega game studios that have been making great games for the past 20+ years (Two of the best were sonic team and the MIGHTY AM2)............. Indigo, do you even know Segas origional name? they were called standard games (although most of their games are far from standard) then they were called SErvice GAmes........ and thats how Segas name was born, the 1st two letters from service and the 1st two letters from games.......

Other notable advertising catchphrases were....... to be this good takes AGES..... (ages spelt back to front is Sega)

Lastly Sega have made more games than sony will ever make....... (1st party games i mean, not moneyhatted games like sony are traditionally known for)
