Arent humans future proof?

Are you kidding me Leo...not even the sun is future proof.



nothing is future proof. Humans could die out at anytime from a disease that suddenly infects everyone and kills them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Mega_Drive
"Globally the Sega Mega Drive and games began production in Japan in 1988 and ended with the last new game being released in 2002 in Brazil."
"The Mega Drive is still manufactured in Brazil, with many games built into the console."

So that's a 14 year life cycle, or a 19+ year life cycle, depending on how you want to count it. Either way beats Playstation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Master_System
(released in 1986)
"The last commercial licensed release in Brazil was Sonic Blast, released by Tec Toy on 1998. The Master System is still being produced in Brazil." It comes with dozens of built-in games, but it can play the cartridges too -- though they are hard to find in Brazil. The system has also been released in handheld form, again with built-in games.

So that's a 12 year life cycle, or a 21+ year life cycle, depending on how you count it.

Any way you count it, SEGA IS IMMORTAL IN BRAZIL!

Agreed that the Ps2 is past its AAA games days but still decent games coming out for it. Alot of the games coming out are more casual but hey thats whats left in the PS2 market as Hardcore jumps to Next gen alot faster then casual with regards to Pricing.



The Neo Geo lasted longer, with some of its top tier franchises still being released on the system in 2004.

Even if I accept the 1990-2004 lifespan, that is still only as long as the Genesis lasted.  And considering SNK went bankrupt in 2001, I would argue that if 2001-2004 counts on the Neo-Geo, 2002-2007+ ought to count for the Genesis and 1998-2007+ for the Master System.
