underdog

i think the most upsetting thing about sega calling it quits in the console market is that it is just another reminder of how retarded most people are.

sega has always had the most innovative, creative and unusually fun games- ever since the Master System in the 80s. but the masses always, without fail, respond best to hype and glitter. thusly, the dreamcast’s recent demise based on slow holiday sales. the truth is that no one- not even sony loyalits, argue the fact that the dreamcast’s game line-up was the best in the world.

what good is a system that only has a small handful of great games, compared to one that has countless epics and more on the way? it is the latest, sleekest, shiniest and most expensive things that turn americans on- regardless of functionality.

it is sad.

but, of course, now sega will basically do what it always did do best, which is make games. it’ll be hard to see sonic-team or the Phantasy Star logo appear on the game-cube or ps2- but i suppose that it’ll be a good way for sega to begin slow domination of the world through third-party game producing.
