No, but they did say they would be focusing heavily on them.

It's not as if it's up to outlets to find a silver lining in a bleak press release like this.
There's a difference between "We will only produce these particular titles" and "We will produce strong IPs such as x and y" websites literally took it as it meant only Sonic, Total War, Aliens and Football Manager, not that those specific titles are merely an example and other strong titles like Puyo, Yakuza and Phantasy Star would continue. This isn't about finding a silver lining, it's about actually reading and understanding the report, which most of these websites cannot.
To be fair to them they are absolutely atrocious at understanding business and still mix up operating income with net income so it shows you the quality of reporting.
There's no conspiracy; the output speaks for itself. You can blame people for being ignorant when they use Sonic to gauge the health of a company but people would do the same thing with Nintendo and Mario. Sega needs to learn that some games represent their image more than others.
As I said, it is fine if it's the joe public, this isn't their job and holding uninformed opinion of something that may or may not interest them is nothing to slate them on.
However I pointed out the press should be above this and actually do the job their paid to do.
