Sega to become platform-exclusive...

[Brisco Bold]

Yay Stibbons. Keep it coming with the acid tongue lashing.

Ahem, any and ALL fanboys are annoying. As are people who just blindly despise things for no reason...

[Stibbons]

Yeah, they're kinda like people that take everything's meaning at face value.

And someone mentioned Virtua Fighter 2 selling 2 million units. Correct, but it was the last time Sega had a game hit a million units.

If you said in one region, that would be true.

The last game to hit a million in Japan though was Virtua Fighter 2 though. *-neo

If you said Japan. How could they, with a user base of less than 2 million?

If Sega becomes PS2 exclusive, I'll be really, really disappointed.

If they become Xbox exclusive, I'll likely get a Box.

If they become Gamecube exclusive, I'll have a fanboy orgasm the likes of which the world has never seen. In fact, I think there would be so many fanboy orgasms that the world's rivers would run white.

Looks like a started an argument that I didn't mean to.

All I said was that SEGA of America is a piece of shit. They've blatantly lied to their fans and left them in the cold way too many times. I'm not saying Nintendo makes better games or anything, I just think that NoA has done far less shitty things to its fans than SoA has.

And Nintendo makes games where you run around and do nothing? I'll take that over games where all you do is hold forward the whole time. I think everyone knows what games I'm talking about.

All I was saying is that despite thier flaws (some people take them to greater offence than other obviously) they still brought out goods that, were it up to Nintendo, would not have been brought over. Basically; Would Nintendo have brought Rez over? Sega DID. Sin and Punishement is roughly the same kind of game as far as mechanics go but it is far more accessable and easy to comprehend when compared to Rez. Rez came out in the USA, Sin and Punishment did not. That was my whole point: Nintendo would restrict the amount of Sega games that came out here if they were the publisher (and if they're the publisher, then there IS no more Sega - just a lot of development houses under Nintendos name).

Sin & Punishment was not released domestically because the N64 was almost dead at the time.

Rez was not released domestically on DC because it was past dead at the time.

Had Sega not gone multi-platform, there would have been no domestic Rez release.

I'm not seeing how Sega has a better localization record than Nintendo, especially with a domestic Animal Crossing sitting in my Cube and no Sakura Taisen localization in sight.

The N64 was almost dead in 2000?

The reason S&P wasn't brought here was because it had record low sales in Japan for a Nintendo game. Not that that's a good excuse.

Touché, but I stll maintain that Nintendo would be too conservitive in contrast to Sega as a publisher.

In anycase, I do not want Sega to be relegated to one platform. I'd rather see future GunValkyrie and Panzer games (and Virtual On Hitmaker willing) on Xbox and future Nights or Shining Force games on Gamecube. PS2? We'll I can endure it I suppose
