Ever wonder what type of videos a investor gets from big Japanese companies? Me too and it will most likely be exactly like the video above. Oddly enough its even translated and fully voiced in English. The video isn’t humble at all talking about the greatness of SEGA-Sammy from owning ‘top leading’ animation studios like Marza and TMS Entertainment to SEGA’s ability to ‘drive Japan’s gaming scene forward with their superior game development capabilities‘.
This video is mostly to promote a new business within’ SEGA-Sammy called ‘SEGA-Sammy Creation’ which will be making casino machines. The president and CEO of the company oddly enough is Hisao Oguchi who has been at SEGA for over 30 years who is known for leading the highly successful SEGA-AM3 arcade team that created Crazy Taxi and Virtua Tennis series.
The video makes me question if the company understands that their IPs aren’t as strong as they used to be, since the video seems overly positive. But at least the company is recognizing console games as a division within the company.
I’ll just leave this here:
This is why I’m a Sega fan.
This makes me wonder why I’m still a fan… Haha. ☺️ Not a fan of casinos and what they usually stand for at all. Also, what’s Sonic Toon doing in there? Game is bad, sales are bad… So? Where is the western release of PSO2? 😫 at least CC is a fun f2p game that got published outside Japan.
How they can lie at this level in an official video?
I guess that’s aimed to casino investor, but saying BS about the leadership in console and arcade market, when they are barely a decent mobile developer now.
All while showing Sonic Boom, it seeems one of those propaganda videos for some politician…
Maybe you should forward this article to Sega and let them know the difference between what they think is successful and what actually is successful. At this time, I’m sure there are lot of people who would probably know what’s good for Sega than Sega does itself.
