Thier games sell better on the wii and their biggest hit this gen is also on the wii.Now they are trying to capture the core market of the wii as well and really clean up.
I love fighting games !!! Come on challenge me !
Many reasons
Highest Userbase
Lowest Dev costs
the success of M&S and the O G - Sega definitely want to turn M/S into a franchise, developed by them but with help (as happened for the first) from Miyamoto, and to do that they want Nintend happy with them
Sony did to Sega as MS is currently doing, which nearly bankrupted Sega and drove them out of the hardware business. Whist companies aren't petty enough to be completely ruled by things like that, I'm sure it had some influence
The only reason anyone does anything.
For teh lulz.
My Games of 2011:
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Super Mario 3D Land
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

Call it biggest hit ever ;)
| SaviorX said: I was just thinking as to why Sega chose Nintendo to give Sonic exclusives to and revivals of several of their other franchises. They could've gone PS3 exclusive or something, but ended up Wii-bound. I'm guessing because of dev costs, and the success of the Sonic games.
And while we are at it, I think if A Boy and His Blob can come back after like 20 years, Alex Kidd can too. |
Well Sonic Unleashed was supposed to be HD exclusive & the black knight games was supposed to be Wii exclusive. But they decided they actually like money & made a port of the HD versions on the Wii :O

I don't know about "anyone else", but Activision has done a pretty decent job of supporting. Just the other day they announced that their biggest money maker in 2008 was the Wii, also. So expect more of that from them.

Achievement is its own reward, pride only obscures.
HATING OPHELIA- Coming soon from Markosia Comics!
cause Nintendo allowed them to print some money of their own by allowing them to make Mario & Sonic at Olympics :)
MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
They tried Sony and Microsoft last generation. Panzer Dragoon Orta, Shenmue II, Virtua Fighter 4, Shinobi, GunValkyrie, SEGA Sports titles, JSRF, Otogi 1 and 2, Rez, Phantasy Star Universe, Shining Force Neo, Yakuza 1 and 2... While some of those games were commercial hits, most didn't sell well. And of the ones that did sell well, most sold best in Japan.
SEGA's bread and butter last generation was Sonic Adventure DX, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, Sonic Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic Mega Collection, Sonic Riders, and Sonic Gems Collection. Of those, all of the multiplatform games sold best on Gamecube despite the fact that the Cube had the smallest userbase between the three systems.
SEGA needs Japan, so the Xbox 360 obviously isn't the viable choice for franchise revivals. It got some early support (Full Auto, OutRun, Condemned) simply because it was the only current generation system on the market. The Wii took off in all regions and the PS3 didn't, so the deal was sealed.
The Yakuza and Virtua Fighter franchises remain on the PS3 simply because of its controller, in my opinion.
