Sony more money then Sega
M$ more money then Sony

This but M$ has way more than Sony.

Sony and Sega there wasnt as big a gap.

Nonsence...sega was profitable every year until 1997. They lost 700 million in 1997 and 1998 combined and they were almost out of business.

Sony lost what 3.1 billion last year and are still going strong. There is a huge $ difference between sony and sega.

Besides, sony and MS company dollar really doesn't matter.  Gaming is a small side business for both and I believe Sony is investing more money in to gaming supporting all platforms than MS ever did.

So conclusion

Sony$ >>>> Sega$

MS$~= Sony$ (in gaming)

Yeah to me the only time money became an issue in the fall of Sega, was when they couldn't wait out the Dreamcast picking up any longer. The piss poor management towards the end of the Genesis era was the start...They wanted the Genesis to hold on longer then it should with useless add-on's and the like...
