They don't have a strong enough first party. They don't have enough money to buy exclusive or timed-exclusive games. They don't have any money to waste, if they fail they are finished.

Basicallly, they don't have anything going for them.

 

They don't have strong enough first party?

They have nothing going for them?

Sega don't have strong 1st party?

Their 1st party trounces most companies 1st party franchises.

Yea, half of those franchises are effectively dead, and wouldn't be any more of an advantage then as if they started a new IP.

You basically listed a list of Sega's former glory. They haven't created a great game in any of those franchises since the Genesis, and I don't see how that will change. It's not like once they have their own hardware, they can finally say, "Oh, I guess we should try now."

When I said their 1st party wasn't strong enough it was mainly refering to they don't have the talent to pump out AAA games like Nintendo, Sony, and even Microsoft.

 

Virtua tennis 2009........... coming may 2009

Virtua fighter 5............ like what, 18 months old?

Condemned 1 & 2 both this gen............ are they old too?

Yakuza 3........... 2009?

Sonic games making tonnes of money on various platforms................

I listed some old franchises yes, but to dismiss them the way you have is just plain wrong.
