It was relativly easy for Sega to keep its look/feel... identity whilst it created games for its own console...

but what will hapen now that they are creating games for other consoles?...

If there making games for the PS2 and X-Box will they lose there look?

Will the highest bidder (either Sony or Microsoft) unofficially change the face of their operations and style of productions?...

Will we oneday see team Sonic creating a purely PS2 Sonic the Hedghog... to Sony specifiactions?

Is this the begining of the end for Sega...

Or just a hiccup in their long exsistance?

Well if the news is true. I hope they can work with Nintendo in the future, it would be a very good partnership to make. If they want to make money why not help Nintendo by making software for them.

ER...Nintendo have enough Cash you know, they didn't donate the profit from Pokémon to the 'We are sooooo sad we have a playstation' society!

I think that Nintendo should get sega's copyrights, they would know where to take it....SONY would just privatise all the copyrights and Screw sonic up...stupid SONY

nintendo always screw up with things like this. if they want to compete with the rest , they must make a deal with sega to produce games for the gamecube. this is reminisant of when nintendo told sony to get lost......i wonder what could have been......what a console it could have been.....just imagine sony's brainwashing power combined with nintendo's inovation. if only......

would sonic really appear on another console?!

With so many stories floating around the internet and in the press, I'm amazed you guys still fall for them. I expect it of Digitiser (who only this morning posted the 'official' rumour that Sega were no longer going to produce the Dreamcast, but for people on this site to believe it too? hm!

If I were another (less scrupulous) console firm, I'd be busy creating fake news stories like this every day if I thought that it would fool lots of prospective punters. Sega have many rivals, both direct and indirect, and their main fault is not using (or paying off) the press to gain respect from mindless sheep (no offence Sheepy) who believe everything that's written down. This is exactly what happens when you don't use the papers and internet for your own advantage, someone uses them against you, and no, I'm not pointing the finger at any big record producing rival in the slightest.

Well, rant over I guess, but it goes to show what a difference a little bit of ink and a forest can make.
