Sega insted of Nintendo

I dont believe that SEGA has even brought out another game system worth knowing about.. But then again, i may be wrong.

Still, Nintendo has brought out the Wii, giving the impression they arent out of the race yet.

And with SMG and a few other games which are desent, i doubt that Nintendo will go away for a while.

I was a sega fanboy and i think that the Genesis has some better games than the Snes, BUT saying that sega is better for the industry than Nintendo is simply: fanboyism

Sega had their chance, it wasn't stolen from them or anything they screwed up. Don't get me wrong I was a big fan, infact I used to be a complete fanboy back in my primary school day (lol) but Sega lost something a long time ago, and you have to admire Nintendo's consistency.

They didn't lose there chance at all, Dreamcast was a great console with great games, better games the PS3 has this gen. It had an AAAA. There only chance was stolen by sony and lack of funding.

It was really the consumers that didn't backed the system. Nobody forced them to not buy a Dreamcast after all. They were just more excited about the other systems.

Also, remember that Dreamcast games and the system are very praised these days, but on it's time, despite favourable reviews, the system and it's games were dismissed, just the same as people would dismiss any system they would consider a rival nowadays. It was after the system went under that it began to have the mass appeal it has now.

System Wars attitudes weren't created with this forum.

Because they were successful games and highly relevant to them.

The Sakura Taisen series, not relevant to you, turned to be quite relevant to SEGA when it became a phenomenon in Japan way beyond the Saturn system itself. So I don't think they would care in the least about what you find or not relevant.

And just because they don't happen to release things in your region means their dead and unsuccessful? If you didn't knew, they have been like this for a long time before the Dreamcast. And even the Dreamcast saw a whole lot of games left in Japan.

Again why would they care when they "are" successful in their homeland? Just as you don't seem to care about what Japanese are gaming, I'm sure they don't care about what you're gaming either.

SEGA has Japan full of 9-foor Club SEGAs and mega amusement parks, they alone revived and maintain the Arcade interest in the country, so you're telling me that because it is not so where you live, all of that is irrelevant?

I can understand that if you are not an importer, how then you couldn't care less about what they're releasing in Japan. But you have to be totally close-minded to think that everything revolves around you.

This all feeds right into what I'm saying. Outside of Japan, Sega is becoming increasingly irrelevant. Maybe it's just the nostalgia in me that wishes for the glory days of the Genesis, but Sega has taken everything that was great about its lineup and made it XTREME!!!!11!!11!!11!

They may very well be vibrant in Japan, but that hardly makes them the Sega we once knew and loved.

I could say Taco Bueno is a serious worldwide powerhouse fastfood restaurant and in my neck of the woods, it would be marginally true. The majority of the rest of the world has no freaking clue what the hell I'm talking about. Sega's becoming regional, which is probably what saved them because they went in a direction that doesn't sell terribly well outside of Japan.

And all of this, again, feeds into my point, which is that the Sega of today is definitely NOT the Sega of yesterday. Whether or not you think this is a good thing, is entirely subjective.
