Well , maybe if they would shrunk their department , and start again ... it could work :?



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

Fire them all! Send them back to hell from which they came from. Don't forget to fire the guy who made Sonic for PS3 and 360.



I know there will probably be many people who disagree with me, but ...

I think Sega should focus all of their efforts on the Wii, Nintendo DS, and PSP for the next several years; while they're doing this they should be agressively "laying-off" as much dead weight as possible, and shoud be restructuring in order to streamline their development process and increase quality. In my opinion, only when Sega has a handful of high quality development teams that are producing products people can really get excited about will they be able to make a comeback.

 



I was just about to write the same thing, HS. Dumping the archaic arcade business is the first step.

I'm with Happy on this one...



Sega continues its Atari like fall into they abyss. The best thing for Sega would be for Sammy to sell Sega and all of its properties to a competent company. Nintendo, Sony, MS, I don't care who. I am sick of Sega falling apart due to Sammy's mismanagment. Sega's old management was awful as well but they didn't effect Sega's prooduct quality. Sammy not only loses money with Sega but they have taken them frm a AAA software company to a C- at best software company.

 Dagnabit HappySquirrel, stop reading my mind.

 

PS Sonic Team is the first on the chopping block. 



There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.

Give them to Nintnedo, Miyamoto will whip them into shape
