Today Sega presented it's upcoming flagship titles to the public in Japan. Executive Officer of SEGA Japan, Kawagoe Takayuki, said that "overall it [2008] was a difficult year [for Sega]" and that they were definitely affected by the global economic recession.

However he also mentioned that Sega were encouraged by the sales of PlayStation 3 exclusive, Yakuza 3, and PSP exclusive, Phantasy Star Portable. Both of which achieved half a million units in Japan alone.

Takayuki went on to say that "due to the success of these titles, Sega wish to bring excitement to gamers with more quality titles." He then went on to announce Bayonetta and End Of Eternity for PS3 and Xbox 360 and Puyo Puyo 7 for the DS (releasing July 30), Wii and PSP (releasing Winter 2009).

How bout he announced Yakuza 3 for the 360. Man i loved the 2nd one.

 

Why the hell not!  Does anyone else find the way Sega places their exclusives a little random?  Would you like an EA blanket effect better?

 

 

 

If it means i get to play 2 of the 3 good PS3 games on 360 then yes.

Why not buy a PS3, that works too ya know...

 

For 3 games? Maybe when its $150 cheaper.

 

Well if that's the case, it would be a waste. Why buy a console and ignore it's library?

 

 

Thats what i'm saying. There are only 3 games on the PS3 i want, and if Sega made Yakuza 3 and VC go multiplat. there would only be one other game on the PS3 i would want to play. I have no intrest to play sony first party games, so the PS3 is useless to me.

 

 

The other game is MGS4 BTW.
