Sammy is Killing Sega - Jul 29, 2007 00:42
That much is obvious. But they may actually end up killing it as a brand.

GI.biz


Sega Sammy Holdings have announced financial results for the first quarter, posting net losses of 5.08 billion Yen, or USD 42.3 million.


Well screw that.

Losses?? Surprising to a degree, i thoguht they were actually making money releasing all the crap games they' ve put out.

To me Sega pretty much died with the Dreamcast, they are now little more than a shadow of their former selves.

However this period has been pretty taxing on companies who have bet success on ps3 and a lesser extent 360 with underwhelming sales.

No wonder you make losses when you release games like Phantasy Star Universe, Sonic the Hedgehog and Chromehounds. But Sega, before you die, don' t forget you are still owing us one particular game....

Oh sh**! The pachinko machines ain' t doing it for Sammy anymore!

Actually I think Sega is developing a good strategy as a publisher right now. More Western-developed games with a good balance of some quality PC developers in the mix. More movie licenses. From a business standpoint I think it looks good. I think they' ve got a good shot to turn things around over the next couple of years, and do some more artistic games along the way.

I wouldn' t want Sega to be bought by MS, Sony or Nintendo and become a console exclusive developer. I' d rather see them be bought by another developer. Capcom would be the best one since they seem to know what they' re doing.
Imagine Shenmue 3 with the RE5 graphics engine
Or a Street Fighter VS Virtua Fighter game LOL
I guess they' d call it Virtua Street Fighter

The only reason Pachinko supposedly makes money is through money laundering connected with the Japanese mafia because nobody can verify the real takings and Sega was doomed the moment Sammy bought them to get more real estate through arcade venues.

So what you' re saying is that every time we buy a game from Sega we support the japanese maffia?

Wow, I knew Sammy blew big time, but money laundering!?

....

Well... I suppose profits from Phantasy Star Universe had to come from somewhere.

GOD DAMN YOU HAJIME SATOMI!
I' ve already talk about this Nightmare in my recent
NO Shenmue Online at CJ 2007 and Yu Suzuki to leave SEGA! topic
https://forum.kikizo.com/tm.asp?m=109967&p=3&mpage=4&tmode=1&smode=1

One of the main reasons of SEGA' s problems and no SHENMUE 3
is SAMMY' s plans.(mainly Hajime' s devil thoughts)

BTW ginjirou!
I don' t think Adam means that every time we buy a SEGA game
we support the Japanese mafia.

They make SEGA games with the help of their video game sales
(not Sammy' s Pachinko machines), for eg: they make VF6 with
the help of VF5' s sales.

anyway, now it' s time for them to change their plans.
instead making games for kids they should take care more about serious older
gamers like Shenmue fans & ...

I don' t think Adam wants to comment any more on this because then he might end up with a Yakuza blade against his throat...

I remember thinking it was weird actually when Sega announced Yakuza. Because of the connections Sammy has then.
