You made a claim and then used your opinion (or rather, a long pointless essay) to downsize the company. The reason they aren't in hardware anymore is a simple one that most hit on the head. What you said about their sequels and such displays that you know less than you pat yourself on the back for.

Hes got a point tho, a company like Nintendo can survive solely on there 1st party titles but Sega while having some great games has never really had many huge sellers outside of Sonic
|
True, but Sony doesn't have many big sellers outside of GT. Microsoft only has Halo that sells 10 mill+. It's not always about big 1st party games, Sega had an excellent relationship with 3rd party devs and their hardware was always competent enough to stand the test of time. They didn't fail because of their games, again, it was strictly a money problem.

Genesis had good 3rd party support, the same cant be said for Saturn and by the time Dreamcast came out Iit was too late.
Sony has a few big sellers Uncharted & God of War usually sell 5mil+, Microsoft also has Forza which I believe does around 5mil and Gears which does 5mil+. Sega has some great games but I cant think of any besdies Sonic that have ever done over 3mil

I still say you're focusing on all the wrong things. Their demise was based on bad business decisions, but they had great 3rd party support heading into the Dreamcast era. Still, they could have corrected their mishaps with more money, which the other competitors have proven can carry you a long way. Unlike MS/Sony, Nintendo and Sega were/are, strictly, gaming companies. If a sector of it begins to crumble, you have to let something MAJOR go.

I agree earlier I said the reason they didnt succeed Iis because of the many mistakes they made with 32x and Saturn which led to them being broke by the time they fixed there problems. I was just commenting on ur guys argument abouy sega games selling well
