With all the release news that come lately from sega, do you think they are able to made their prediction to beat EA in (sorry forgot the exact quotes) years?
Sure their is some douptfull game like shadow the hedgehog, but most seem solid line up and very little if no shovelware.
They release more old franchise than ever, they still pump inovative game, and they started, at least in japan to produce the usual EA stuff, licenced propriety but in a good way.
now with all the partnership with western developer, i really think they can make it. Not that i'm THAT interested in american game, but they are better to me than EA, activision, take two and thq offering. And even in those there is some that interest me, like spartan total warrior.
They also seem to be THE PSP and DS best developer from now on, really nice game, one could have those console and buy only sega game and be happy on them.
Of course all this depend on how the game turn on, but i have faith to see a good 50% of sega game to be good again. What is especially good seem to be the fact that they have a good lead on next gen with their arcade lineup.
The stock took a big hit lately from not being added to Nikkei consumer product index, but if they can turn the home game unit around they can literaly increase profit by 100% for 2006. I see the stock go as low as 13$US (for the ADR) and goes back up to 22$ around next june. Meanwhile i see EA stock to go nowere, and even go a bit lower as cost of development go higher and the number of japanese developer signing small western developer usually with EA go higher.
