| Torpoleon said: @ShadowLink93 The growth is tremendous and easily the biggest turnaround in gaming history. This is probably what Sega wanted from Dreamcast. I am just hopeful that Nintendo can build on this with the next system. Since MS & Sony have had relative success so far with their new systems, I have faith that Nintendo can as well. At worst, I'd expect Wii-level sales for their systems going forward as long as they stick with just 1 system. |
Pretty much, the PS2 was just too strong.
but even without the PS2... the main problem with sega aside from their internal squabbles was in thier core identity at the time.
bleeding edge, being cool.
nintendo was able to weather, and has alway had since the SNES era, a couple bad generations of hardware. granted, nintendo never truely had to dip into thier war chest aside from early Wii U thanks to thier handheld division always dominating, but they always had that cushion, to be able to afford to wait. this is one of the factors why nintendo is usually willing to delay and take their time with first party games unlike most companies who need the game out the door becasue they need the cash flow so the company doesn't go kaput.
