Sega, Making New Hardware?

^What he said. People are making waaaay to much of this.

 

SEGA should think about Shenmue 3 instead of wasting money with shit like this!!

 

Video game journalism at its finest.

 

Lol - i wouldnt believe it even if i would see it straight from my hands xD

 

SE-GA ain't SEvice-GAmes anymore. their're now more like GA-OV.

 

Gay Overlord?

 

much closer to the reality -> GAme OVer!

 

I've never gone from flacid, to erect to flacid again so quickly in all my life.

 

Gaming might take a whole different direction in the next 10 years..

 

2 words: Fucking lame:-(

And kev, look I agree that launching a console can be very expensive, but those numbers are a little over the top.

I mean, if those numbers were true that means there's a bigger (proportionally) bubble in the game industry that the one (that used to be) on housing.

 

Assembler you are quite right in your assessment of the industry at present. All we are seeing is good reason why Sony and Microsoft never had a clue of what to make of Video Games. They took a lucrative industry that was fun for the fans and turned it into a shit fest for the future. Greed at its finest I say. Sony`s desire to infiltrate every home with an irresistible shiny set top box and Microsoft following suit have crushed what our hobby used to be.

What we have here is a replacement of dedicated gaming hardware which has historically been relatively inexpensive( as its` sole purpose was to provide a platform for which creators could make fun and interesting games) with an expensive hybrid game center/ computer replacement that has no real place in most homes.

I scratch my head wondering why any of this is necessary at all. They have become not unlike Sega with all of their poorly executed add-ons. At least with Sega they were just that.. Add-ons, at the end of they day you had a choice of what to use your hardware for. Imagine if playing the PC Engine meant an investment in every single additional piece of hardware just to play a hu card. That is what you have with these powerhouse computer replacements that we call consoles.

Perhaps we`re poised for a mini crash in the industry that may open the doors for the hardware purists of old to re-enter the game.

Cue Shadowlayer's ridiculous end-of-times spiel that the entire gaming industry is going to implode just around the next corner and nobody's going to make games any more and we're all going to die. I never tire of that one.

 

Will there be tea and biscuits before we die? It's all IBMs fault for not making the IBM PC out of custom parts that way the industry would probably have a few more standards and technology would probably have been several steps back, arcades would still be around and Sega would still be with us.

 

But then we'd be using Apple PCs and wear colorful clothing and buy new things simply because it's 'trendy'.

 

you must subscribe to my blog!

just kidding. seriously. i'm not like that at all... :020:

 

And you're still a fucking illiterate, aren't you?

Can't you read? I said those numbers can't be right, or else there would be a bubble in VGs, and no industry can last without income, get it? or I've to draw you a schematic?

 

If we're going to get bitchy about it, your written English is atrocious. I try to refrain from criticising your ignorance directly, though. God knows where that would end.

A bubble in VGs? I wonder what VGs are, would that be a new metric you've established? Bubbles in VGs certainly sound dangerous, though - perhaps you'd better draw a schematic, or we might all die of VGs bubbles.

What you're talking about is as absurd as it ever was. An industry with revenues of $40 billion a year is going to disappear overnight. Right.

As an aside, if you're going to criticise other people's written English, you might want to remember to capitalise the first letter of each sentence. Perhaps I should draw you a schematic of the basics of the English language. It might help.

here we go again :-(
