| Rath said: Sega has thrown quite a lot of money into publishing for the Wii in 2009. Perhaps that is where some of the money has gone? |
The suggestion that the Wii has anything to do with Sega’s financial woes is very misleading. In fact Sega has supported all three consoles equally as well as the handhelds and if anyone has let them down it is certainly NOT the Wii or Nintendo.

Looking at that result, which console are you going to cut back? The Wii, not f**king likely since its top selling game SOLD MORE COPIES ALONE than either HD console sold in all. Per game produced, the Wii far and away out performed everybody and the DS was second. If they start cutting support on any rational basis then the PS3 and the PSP are toast. In fact, given development cost and results, the case could easily be made that they should develop exclusively for the Wii and the DS.
