Today I went out to buy christmas presents and I went into the shop "Game"
There was a small PS2 section with people looking at the 6 game cases to see what games they'll be able to play in 4 months time. There was also a Gameboy section, a little bigger than the PS2 section with quite a few games. Loads of people were looking at the games boxes.
Then there was the PC section, the biggest of them all filled with people of all ages looking for the newest games.
Also the Playstation section, quite a big section with loads and loads of people all looking for the newest 2D game.
The N64 section filled with it's quality games was also full of people.
BUT what about the Sega Dreamcast section? There were plenty of good games better than a lot of Nintendo ones. It was a big section in the shop but the only person that was there was a young boy looking at Star Wars Episode 1 Racer. It was sad to see that a company that was fighting Nintendo at one point was now struggling to survive! Dreamcast owners had a huge choice of games none of them 2D but still they'd rather waste there money on the cheap stuff that you could buy second hand for the SNES.
Even though Sega are planning on making just games like they originally did, it is sad to see the consoles go!
It is a real shame, and it's my third reason behind buying one after Christmas.
1. Games.
2. Multiplayers.
3. Save Our Sega.
4. Shenmue.
5. Probably Shenmue again.
6. Racers.
7. Beat em ups.
8. Originality.
9. Sonic.
10. Controller.
