They also made the iron man 2 Wii game. That probably didn't make any profit either.

Sega fired people who worked on it too.

In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

>Sega tells High Voltage to make decent looking game shit

>Game doesn't sell

>High Voltage reduces staff

Well goodluck with the Gauntlet Grinder mashup, because if that fails there'll be trouble.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Average developer does below average and now its average employees are leaving to possibly join another average developer to make even more average games. Hopefully some of them are lucky enough to be signed on to a slightly above average development team so that they can make slightly above average games and make a decent amount of money to help satisfy their average wives, in their average home on Ho Hum Avenue.

Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

Show me an above average game that they've developed and I'll agree that I was incorrect.

The best game they've made in the last 5 years was The Conduit and we all know how that went.
