Okay...now im not sure if you guys are with me or nott but...

did you guys noticed that SEGA has marketing problems in a way ?

and they are not strategic with their plans on buisness and gaming ?

They drop good games but think about it......

Yakuza series: They were known as good games but from the way it seems..

since the game didnt sell well in NA but sold good in Japan they developed Yakuza 3 for Japan but not for NA...wrong right ?

-----------------------------------------------------------

Shenmue series: They game was sold well and noticed all around but didnt make the marketing limit for enough money for 3..

They made pt 1 and II but since pt II did not sell on the regular Xbox (REMIND you regular xbox) the game was automatically canceled

for making of Pt III...it was rumored that Pt III was already made (including shenmue online and etc) but they didnt put it out due to the

fact that PT II didnt sell well exclusively on Xbox (they were better off putting it multiplatform...if you asked me)

---------------------------------------------------------------

Valkryia Chronicles: A Beautiftful game with a smooth battle system and a dramatic story with war involved..something like a Anime of Gundam when

they argue about warr and etc dont you think ? Well the game is known so good for its battle system and story that even I bought it and got hooked to it..

but the game did not sell well to go highly noticed..but, it was a Die hard game making it known for its awareness...but the game was marketed as an exclusive but around the time when Reisistance and Little Big Planet was swring around the neighboorhood taking all the fame and promotional looks for

money making and pride to move the PS3 system...

---------------------------------------------------------------

(Jet Set Radio Future (xbox)which was the pt.II of Jet Grind Radio(dreamcast) flopped due to its sales on the Xbox)

---------------------

I love Sega and Im sure a lot of people do..They have good games and made good games (especially on Dreamcast....that was a beautiful breed....)

but sometimes it dawns on me that their marketing skills OR something they do makes there games seen the wrong way or just walked past by when they are worth a charm like Valkriya Chronicles...Do you gamers see what i am saying or no ?

Add in Sakura Taisen too one of the most well received and famous SRPG in Japan (the third one was best selling Dreamcast exclusive i think... or the first one was the best selling in Saturn), and we are barely getting the port of the 5th one this fall (localized by NIS... wth??)

I think that Sega would be ""absolutely"" fine if they just collaborate with Sony more or just be under them in a way... I cant even remember how long its been since a game went either Greatest hits or Platnium hits...

I think Valkyria Chronicles actually sold really well by SRPG standards.

All I had to do was read the first few lines and I already know.

Sega's been bad since the 90's. Since I was a kid. That's why they went software only.

Their games and consoles were good. But they were horrible at pretty much everything else. Dreamcast was a case of "too little, too late"

You're right. The original Xbox was definitely a grave yard for quite a few great Sega franchises. They would have been better off on PS2 or even mores so if they were multi-platform. Playstation obviously has a bigger market for Japanese developed games. And maybe Jet Grind and Shenmue would still be alive and kicking today.

I could honestly rant on all day about how bad SEGA has betrayed me over and over again. They have some of the best franchises in the industry, but can never capitalize on them. Sonic - The Adventure series was just amazing on DC and Adventure 2 battle was even better on GameCube, race battles were awesome! (Grinding, Snowboarding, Running all awesome!). I didn't mind Treasure Hunt but my sister and girlfriend loved it. The Fighting mode was really bad though... Jet Set Radio - One of my favourite games ever! Give me a HD Remix or a Sequel please! Pulling of the most outrageous tricks and grinding fluidly through a city just never felt better. Yakuza - How they blame us for it's failure is beyond me. Don't expect a game to sell when it isnt marketed right. It was released so late into the PS2 life and the mainstream had already moved onto HD consoles. It plays better than GTA and they don't see the gold mine in that? they're absolutely crazy! Shinobi - Probably one of the first games I ever picked up as a kid on the Sega GameGear. Awesome fun! The PS2 version had great designs but the gameplay was good apart from the cheap deaths. I don't mind if they don't go back but there is still potential. Crazy Taxi - What better party game than this?

SEGA just plain sucks now. All they do is make a new sonic game like every 5 months... It's sad too.They used to make awesome games like Crazy Taxi & the Original Sonic.
