Yes, you heard me... Sega are the FOG. The reason? Well... think of it like this. There is a games market of 100million people out there. Pretty big eh. However, until now Sega could only sell games to the 6million people with a DC. oh.
Now that's changed. Sega are one of the biggest developers in the world. Think about it. They have 10 departments. Each one can produce twice as many games as a normal developer. Want more proof? Name a genre. Now, think of games that are the best in the genre... one of these will be a sega game.
It is estimates that by 2003 Sega will be the second biggest games publisher in the world after Ninty. Overtaking Namco in the process.
That company is going places... might even buy shares in them:)

Will it fall though?
Sega and EA prodice different types of sports games. Sega's tend to be more on the arcadey side, while EA tend to go (or rather, attempt to go) for the simulation type of thing.
Compare, for example, Virtua Striker to FIFA. Me and the guys at work have spent countless lunch hours (and pund coins!) at one of the local pubs playing VS2. But we still enjoy our league competitions on FIFA - something you can't do on VS.
They are both highly enjoyable games, but for very different reasons. I'm sure Sega are capable of making some very good simulations if they put their mind to it, but a sports sim is not something you really associate with them... for the moment, at least.
They'll certainly give EA some competition - any major software company would; but I don't think they'll have a direct, major impact on EA. I think both companies will do well, for different reasons.

I agree, I prefer Sega's games to Nintendo's.
Good luck to Sega!
Good luck to Sega!
I've always believed Sega make better games than Nintendo.

actually, one interesting point is this:
Are people like EA worried that they didn't support the DC?
Thinking about it, until now EA sports has been a majority of the sports market of gaming. However, from everything I've heard, Sega Sports games are just as good, AND can be played online.
Should be interesting to see EA's dominance fall.
