According to businesweek.com Sega could have a winn or loose situation this winter . Even though the company plans to enter among the top 5 publishers , with their newly purchased Marvel licenses , this shot could very easily backfire . If this winter season goes wrong , and its followed by a bad next Q1 , our beloved hedgehog maker could go out of business .
Lets hope for the best for Sega , and continue to aid them , as we can ( read : buy their games ) .

I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise
We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.

it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.

=( aww i still remember playing sonic on segamaster system i hope it works out for them

If Sega doesnt want to make another Shenmue game, I hope they go the way of Enron.
I just bought Sonic 1,2 and 3 on ebay...Why? Because imo they were the best Sonic games, I got the Sonic and Knuckles cartridge somewhere at home lol.
If Sega didnt constantly release games that were poor like the latest Sonic game then they wouldnt have this problem.
I want Sega to come back and the only way they can do this is be serious in their developement like going back and looking at the top classics they once had like the classic Sonic, Streets Of Rage and Goldenaxe for example.
