>tfw not born in the dimension where Playstation went the way of the 3DO after SEGA lapped up all of the 3rd-party support Nintendo had lost from fucking up

[Anonymous No.4045689]

These days:
>Nintendo takes down fanwork and issues C&Ds
>SEGA hires creators of said fanwork to make games for them
>Nintendo localizations are infamous for their poor quality and removed content
>SEGA localizations are renowned for their accuracy and attention to detail, even fixing the problems with Atlus West

The wrong company died.

SEGA went full cancer in 6thgen though. QTE cinematic trash like Shenmue, DLC, and online paywalls were set. Was just an earlier XBox but no big FPS.

>Online paywall
Every other 5th/6th gen console either had online paywalls or no online at all

I definitely agree with you about Shenmue though. SEGA shoved way too much money into that pile of shit

Yeah, Sega wasn't perfect, but at least they actually made games, unlike the companies that won (Sony and M$). I wish the Sega vs. Nintendo war had gone on longer than it did.

Playstation>Nintendo>Sega

That's why Playstation rules the industry and Sega is in shambles.

Playstation only won because PSX was the poorfag's choice of fifth gen and Sega kept suiciding itself after the Genesis.

Sega lost to themselves. Sony just dealt the killing blow. Nintendo was a non issue during that time.

[Anonymous No.4045750]

why do faggots have wet dreams wishing for the failure of any game company? this is beyond retarded and the ones who will be prived of possible good titles are the consumers, the billionaire executives will move on and still earn their money

[Anonymous No.4045761]

Because Sega and Nintendo are better games companies than Sony. It's not fair that they lost.

Everyone's gotta have an agenda, even if it's weird and specific and only makes sense to them. Just talking about video games in the past few years has become insanely combative and hostile. If there's no other company to fight then you have to fucking fight amongst yourselves about which fucking entry in the same series is the best.

For the last time, Dreamcast downloable content was nothing like modern dlcs. With that logic you may as well call the satellaview stuff dlcs.

Hey look at me I'm SEGA, let's release a new piece of hardware every year, and support all of them at once, you know, to piss off developers, because that's a good idea. Also lets piss off all our Japanese customers by quickly ending support for the Saturn, even though it's really popular there, just because the Americans don't like it. Even though Sony is making do with a 32 bit console, let's just decide that's not enough now. Lets not release a large portion of the library outside Japan because fuck everyone else.

What happened to SEGA was gonna happen anyway.

For sure. SEGA of Japan and SEGA of America couldn't see eye to eye on ANYTHING and it was mismanaged into the ground. Sony could have released a golden turd in the PS2's place and the same would have happened, the Saturn killed the brand with retailers and customers alike.

This all being said, I think the experience humbled the hell out of them as like >>4045689 said, SEGA as a company shits all over Nintendo right now.

Where would SEGA be right now if they just told their U.S. market to fuck off and focused only on Japan, Europe, and South America?

It was marketed as DLC, kiddo. Nothing like satellaview and everything like modern cancer. Ya it wasn't true DLC since all it did was unlock content that was already on the disc but it was sold as extra content.

>It was marketed as dlc
Not it wasn't 'kiddo'. Not like modern dlcs at least.

You could download some basic shit no one cared about. No expansions, no game patches, no new characters, no elaborated new modes, nothing that really altered the game in a relevant way. It was its own thing and the only thing it had in common with modern dlcs was that you had to download it.
