It's bad no matter how you slice it, but at least compared to the Jaguar, Saturn, Dreamcast, etc. Nintendo has some amazing IPs that can save it. Metroid U, Zelda U, Smash, and Mario Kart should do the trick. The key is getting these games out ASAP as things aren't going to improve on their own. |
So did the Dreamcast. I'll admit that the Saturn library was a little too obscure however.

Sega's first party lineup is not even comparable to Nintendo'S first party lineup. I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here.

Sega's first party lineup was quite good. If you look at attach rates instead of total copies sold it was amost as good as Nintendo's 1st party.
|
That argument is flawed in so many ways. By that logic, any company could make a random console, sell 10 systems and have an attach rate of 8 games per console and say that it's first party lineup is *almost* as good as Nintendo's first party titles. How many iconic characters does Sega have? Sonic? After that? Yea, not even remotely comparable to Mario, Dk, Luigi, Yoshi, Zelda, Smash bros, Kart, etc. Please do not ever compare Sega's first party lineup to Nintendo's, their not even close to being in the same league no matter how you try and spin it with the attach rate.

Sega had plenty of iconic characters, espeiclaly at the height of their popularity in the 4th gen, any Sega fan could have named several off the top of their head back in the 90's as well as most Nintendo fans, and most of those Sega fans and a few of those Nintendo fans likely still could name a few today. The only reason that more people remember Nintendo's iconic characters now is because Nintendo has actually had a major presence in the gaming market over the last 10 years, unlike Sega.

That's not what I meant. I can agree that Sega did have a lot of great franchises. But none of them (with the exception of Sonic) ever came close to becoming as big (in terms of popularity and sales) as any of the big franchises of Nintendo.
