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.

Everyone thinks you are, and your little own joke is stupid and then you go and blantantly....
You are a stupid little idiot er-no.
I agree the console manufacturers should work closely with the games developers to make high quality games.
This was a complaint leveled at Sony a few years back when they developed a "Performance Analyser" for the PS1.... this was used by Sony to analyse how much of the power of the PS1 was being used by a game at any time,.... this knowledge in the hands of its programmers allowed them to use even more of PS1's processing power and make better games. This was used to develop "Gran Turismo", which was groundbreaking for the time.
Sony did eventually give this technology to software companies after GranTurismo was released, however because of this lack of communication the software produced by other companies at that time was below par compared to games developed with the help of the analyser!
What the console companies need to do is tell the programmers in the software companies all the little secrets of their machines, so that they can be push them to their limits. Then we will finally see games that show us the full power of our consoles!.
