Is Sega going to die even more soon?

[segarocks30]

Do you think Sega is going even more down hill now?(sob sob)

[MegaDrive20XX]

Nope, Sega's franchises cannot die....Sonic the Hedgehog and his pals have really kept Sega breathing

[Lothars]

I agree, I don't think Sega is gonna die or anything

They still make some really good games,

[segarocks30]

Good they better not die.(tears of joy)

[Captain Wrong]

Why should I think that? Did I miss something?

[segarocks30]

I mean some of the games they made recently are pretty bad i hear.I saw a review for sega classic collection on X-Play and it got a 1 out of 5

[tritium]

I don't really trust reviewers when it comes to reviewing games. lots of games I really like got bad or mediocre reviews. Some games that got great reviews really sucked (imo)

I don't have any examples off the top of my head, but its pretty much why i have canceled my subscriptions in the past couple of years.

I prefer reader reviews, gives you a much broader view on the game(s).

Sega thus far though has been pretty good. the PSO franchise is still going apparently. And Sonic Heroes was pretty damn good. There's another game called shadow of the hedgehog we're waiting to be released.

I'm pretty sure Nintendo never bought out Sega

I'm pretty keen on the history, and modern developments at Sega, but I've never heard of this one. You may wanna check your sources.

[segarocks30]

Well Sega is apart of nintendo now thats what i saw they make games for nintendo now thats what i mean nintendo are still jerkjs for doing that still they arent competioters any more (boo)!

[Nature Boy]

I saw a review for sega classic collection on X-Play and it got a 1 out of 5

Let's not start a trend where people bemoan the death of a company because of one bad review

They make excellent games. I don't know how much product they sell but I'm sure they're fine. If you were talking about their next big franchise getting 1/5 you could get concerned, but a retro collection getting 1/5 barely reven registers

Sega is probably not going to die anytime soon, IMHO. Not only are they still putting out some great games, but they also own, build, and operate millions of prize grabbers and pachinko machines in Japan... and people tend to waste away their lives (and their money) on these.

@Segarocks30: It's not because Sega became a third-party developer that does release some games for Nintendo that they were "bought out". Heck, their games also come out for the PS2 and the Xbox, so it's not like they're exclusives either.

Besides, based on that argument, you might as well say that Namco was also bought out by Nintendo, since they also worked on the Triforce arcade engine with Nintendo and Sega...

Anyway, wasn't Sega acquired by pachinko makers Sammy? That's definitely not Nintendo...

[segarocks30]

Sorry for false info!(Segarocks30 kicks himself in the head and shoots himself)

[segarocks30]

By the way do not take this as an influence to kill yourself everytime you say false info

[Zexmaix]

Sega won't and at least not any time soon "die" or go out of business. They're bringing in a ton of revenue now that they're a 3rd party publisher. They can market their games on every system, hitting every audience and gaming crowd rather then just a select few if they stayed in the hardware business.

With franchises like Sonic and Phantasy Star and the creative talent of Sonic Team, Sega won't be in trouble any time soon. If anything, I've heard rumors of a rebirth of Sega. A new console, attitude, etc. But those are RUMORS, and therefore shouldn't be considered anywhere near facts.

Sega is doing fine. Games like Sonic will keep them alive as a 3rd party developer. The Dreamcast was a kickass system, except they didn't really give it a chance to take off, since they stopped developing for it so soon after it's release. After 3 disappointing systems (disappointing to them anyway), I don't think we'll see them develop their own system anytime soon.

[segarocks30]

You know if Sega made one last console(relate this to wwe with hulk hogan saying one last match)they would probably kill microsoft sony and nintendo.By the way is it true that you will have to get a HDtv for the next gen systems?
