First of all, I think it's worth noting that people seemed to think that Sony won that year. But seeing how these threads are focusing on a publisher basis as opposed to a platform basis, I have to give it to Sega.
Let's look at the games they were showing that year. You've got well-regardedclassics like Chu Chu Rocket, Jet Grind Radio, NBA 2K1, NFL 2K1, Phantasy Star Online, Samba de Amigo, Seaman, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Sonic Adventure 2, Space Channel 5, and Virtua Tennis, along with some less-remembered but then-acclaimed games like F355 Challenge, Headhunter, Metropolis Street Racer. That's a total of about 15 games, and unlike some companies nowadays that show their games half a decade before they're released, most of them were available before the end of 2000. That's one of the densest ever eras of high quality releases from a first party publisher in gaming history.
