The gloating thread...

[Sharky]

Because I'm sick of hearing how shit Sega is doing compared to everyone else...
Here we gloat when other companies hit hard times.

I don't get how the misfortunes of other companies would lead me to start gloating, nor do I understand why it should make me feel any better about SEGA.

I guess this thread isn’t for you then... Just spiteful people like me.

[Barry the Nomad]

I'm spiteful! :D It's nice to have a thread that reminds me of the good ol' days of hate. Back when Dreamcast was the best system ever, XBOX was a bulky mess and PS2 was a DVD player with jaggy graphics.

I hate the PS2. What a load of shit.

Hopefully Sony won't launch a 600 dollar console next time.

[Monkeroony]

Wow, that's a huge loss.

Yeah, you would think that would ave been obvious.
I guess winning the Blu-Ray format war was too important.

Cell processor costs a ton too. Should have with something more ... practical.

But it has Ridge Racer!! Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidge Raceeeeeeeeer!!

That E3 presentation crippled the PS3's momentum like nothing else before it. Why didn't that happen with the PS2?

[George]

Because the competition was not that great. SEGA had no money, Xbox and Gamecube had spotty releases.

Am I the only one who believes that Ubisoft will be announcing a console anytime soon?

[Aki-at]

So basically the year SEGA manages to finally post some impressive profits, a lot of companies make either very little profit to losing near enough a billion dollars.

SEGA making profits is not good for the industry!

This is trully mind-boggling. Sega is actually making some money and everyone else whose games traditionally sell better than Sega's own stuff are all bleeding.

It's messed up.

Update: And Namco Bandai, this is what you get for releasing piss-poor Dragon Ball games on new consoles. Like Raging Blast.
