Right on brother...still got my Saturn and Dreamcast plugged in to the TV. Genesis/32X and sega cD have been retired. But they do live on in my PSP.

Sega = videogames when I was growing up...period. And they can tarnish the company and franchises all they want with sub par games...they can never take away the kickass childhood memories I had.

I love the irony of two hardcore Sony supporters being hardcore Sega fans. Who would you side with when Sony tries to drown a hypothetical Dreamcast 2?

Anyways I need to be on a list of Sega supporters. Me being a huge Treasure han goes hand in hand with their continued support for Sega over the years and I stand up and defend the Dreamcast at every turn.

How could one not love SEGA when they made Valkyria Chronicles?



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Side with? Neither. I never want to see ANY company try to kill another, it's one of the main reasons I don't like Microsoft's thought process of "killing" Sony. At the end of the day I'm a gamer who likes all and plays all, so why would I want to support the "drowning/" of another company/console. Favoring Sony doesn't mean I hate the other companies, even if I don't agree with some of their ways, INCLUDING Sony.

It's just a bit odd. A lot of the hardcore Sega fans I know have quite a bit of resentment towards Sony for how the Saturn and Dreamcast scenarios went down, similiar to how I would expect you to resent Microsoft if they assist in the collapse of Sony's gaming division(hypothetically of course).

I have 20+ import (JP) Saturn games plus all the North American games.

I have a CDX. I have imported Game Gear games from Brazil.



Do I qualify?

I am Mario.


I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

But the majority of Sega's problems were their OWN fault. Sony seems to have the same problem, difference is, I don't recall Sega having other things (electronics) to depend on outside of games. Not only that but I don't recall sega EVER being as profitable as Sony once was, coupled with being market leader for two generations in a row! Sony has made their bed this gen, and Microsoft capitalized on that which would've been fine if they weren't just in the biz to kill of the Playstation which was not Sony's plan to do to Sega, at least not to my knowledge, when they "jumped in".

 

Segas profits...

1993 - 230 million profit
1994 - 165 million profit
1995 - 110 million profit
1996 - 46 million profit
1997 - 360 million loss

1998 - 2001 - the books got really fuzzy at thait point for sega. Their CEO I believe ended up giving 40 million dollars out of his own pocket to keep the company alive. As well as give his entire stock to the shareholders after he passed away...

So no...sega was a tiny company compared to Sony and was never as profitable, nor could it take 1/10th of the loss that sony is taking right now.

I most definately am. I have been a proud owner of:

1) sega master system
2) mega drive
3) mega cd
4) game gear
5) Saturn
6) dreamcast

Not to forget having owned stupid amounts of games from those consoles, but also supported them by buying games such as:

Shinobi, nightshade, blood will tell, altered beast, sega collection series and phantasystar online.

To this day, I still crave for a good remake of:

Space harrier, wonder boy, alex the kid, shinobi, shadow dancer, eternal champions, virtua racer, fighting vipers, shenmue 3, after burner, golden axe (a real golden axe!), streets of rage, comix zone, nights, sonic adventure 3 (with only sonic, knuckles and tails as playable charaters), ground zero Texas, super hang on, vector man, ristar, altered beast for this gen, toe jam and earl for this gen, a new better and upgraded virtua fighter, ghost house, house of the dead, virtua cop and others I may have missed out.

If sega only put more effort into their remakes... Yu Suzuki San, why has thou forsaken us!!!
