He didn't go out and say "Sonic doesn't sell on PlayStation/Xbox", only cited strong sales on Nintendo platforms dating back to GameCube. There's a history of highly successful Nintendo-exclusive Sonic games, and Sega is interested in continuing the trend. So the title must have the "not Xbox or PlayStation", because despite what the actual quote is, it must be twisted to make it look like Sega simply doesn't care about their PlayStation and Xbox-owning fans at all. What I'm getting from this, truly, is that Sega wants to bolster Mario & Sonic at the Olymic Games (the golden goose), by focusing the fanbase for Sonic on Nintendo platforms with an exclusive or two. There's still money to be made elsewhere, particularly once PS4/XB1 finally get rolling, but Sega is more comfortable being in bed with Nintendo (at least for now). |
You're assuing that I accept the title's conclusions when I've said nothing of the sort.
I said the statement was baffling, and it is. Using exclusive sales as the basis for assessing the strength of appeal on a platform, when the results of non-exclusive sales point to the contrary, is not presenting strong evidence.
I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.
