Wouldn't it be brilliant if companies worked together in the video game industry, they are at the moment working against each other and this causes quickly made games that are promoted to the public in the right way.
Rare work with Nintendo, and the result is extremely good quality games, which are playable to the day the gamer dies.
Sega dont work with any companies and Sony just are a lonely company who depend on the success of others to keep there console afloat. The reason for Sony doing this is because it doesn't help the company until it needs the money for promotion. Then Sony pay thousands of pounds for an advert advertising a game which the public will buy cause of the final frame. (PS2 'third place' or PS 'never underestimate')
Sega make brilliant games, that no one can deny, Sega lose money because of there brilliant games. This is because Sega invest too much money in making these games and lose out when they dont promote them. MSR had an advert which was on a few times and it sold well. Shemnue had an advert but I didn't see it and I watch a lot of TV.
What Sega should have done is let companies make the games and then help them with the promotion, this would save money and sell more games.
Nintendo work along side there companies all the way, they respect there gamers, but only because of 151 little monsters did Nintendo stay alive in the UK last year, The big N's overall profit rised 52% last year and shows that beneath the N64, Nintendo must be doing something right.
Nintendo let companies make games then they buy the game idea and release it under there name, they give good games enough promotion to last forever in Japan and America, altough they dont give much promotion in the UK they do care most about there gamers.
Companies are losing so much money from making good games and not promoting that they go into meltdown. This has happened to nearly every comapny that invested into the PS2. Some companies only sold 12 copies in the first week of sales, why? cause the PS2 was brought for DVD and later games or if the buyer just wanted to make a little money from sell on.
12 copies: about £500
Invested in game: £15,000
Basically too much of a good thing is just bad, and companies need to release that they should even the balance of invested money and promotional money to let there game sell. Companies need to communicate much more and bring brilliant games to the public eye.

I've never been a rhino of any type or colour, unlike a certain er-no who has been all the colours of the rhino.

very true... wasnt BSB supposed to be the major player from the BSB/Sky merger?
In reality, most companies who have a merger usually end up with the bigger company swallowing up the smaller one, or a complete buy-out takes place. If you want examples of this in the computer world, then look at Sinclair being bought out by Amstrad. This could be bad, this could be veeeeeeery bad.
ok then golden, I will never use it again, I will only use er-no from now on!!!
Sorry about that, respect to the golden one!

because I was at school and someone was on this computer at home, it wouldn't let me get into the box, I probably didn't type the right password but if you check your email then anyone in the class can go into your inbox!!!
I just thought I should create a quick name and admit to using it then make one up.
