I wish they re did and enhanced Daytona. Or did they?
Sega
Sega
Maybe they will sell the franchise to Sony
^ Agreed. They're cool, but not Virtua Fighter cool.
What do they even mean by Online PC games? I would have figured PSO2 avoidance of this region had to due with lack of confidence of the game's success. If SEGA is doubling down on Online PC games why not localize PSO2?
Nintendo should buy the rights to console Sonic games.
What if those mobile games are good? They've made some very popular, highly successful mobile games already.
I keep reading this argument. In my opinion, there is something important to realize: mobile games are not developed similarly to traditional games (i.e. on dedicated devices); therefore, most of the times (like, 99,9% of the times) new mobile games are different games in terms of controls, gameplay, and the general structure.
If you like traditional games, it is perfectly reasonable to not be confortable in playing mobile games.
In sum, your question is misleading. "What if those mobile games are good?" is like asking "What if macarons are actually good?" when I say that it is a shame that a patisserie shifted its production from brioches to macarons (and I do not like the latter).
By "traditional" I assume you mean "console/handheld games." Then yes, in that case too bad for you. If you not only want games to be made, and also don't just want good games to be made, but you specifically insist they be made in a specific way for a specific type of system, then you may be out of luck in the future.
It's completely fine if you're open to good games generally, but if you specifically insist they be on console, then yes, too bad for you.
According to this new interview with Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka, they don't plan to stop making console Sonic games: http://www.4gamer.net/games/286/G028690/20150219001/
"focusing" isn't quitting though.
EDIT: Then again it seems like it was a long time coming.
I take it this isn't good for my hopes of a new Sonic Racing Transformed game. I don't trust them to do a mobile version properly.
what does that mean about atlus?
they're owned by sega as far as i know.
I think people need to realize that refocusing on PC/Mobile does not mean they are outright abandoning everything else.
Perfect summary.
Crisis averted.

Nothing as long as they are making money. Atlus rarely makes console games anyways.
i'm fearing maybe some persona spin-offs on consoles may not release in the west especially here in europe.
again probably won't happen. If Persona 5 does really well, expect everything to come.

They dont really release many games anyway. It will just be Sonic games really.
Wonder how long until we see this focus on PC emerge? I guess VC was the start of it?
Nintendo wouldnt buy Sega IMO. Perhaps some kind of merger with Capcom or Namco Bandai? ie like Square Enix did?
I would sacrifice 100 Atluses and Creative Assemblys to save Sega's arcade division.

I hope Atlus and Creative Assembly are not affected by their refocus.
It would pain me not to get a sequel to Alien Isolation.
Yes, a free to play game structured around offering licensed anime tie-in digital items in cash lotteries would go over real well here.Pso 2 in the west will save you Sega. Just believe
Sega is a shell of its former self anyway that's making more money on mobile, so whatever.

omg people need stop talking about Atlus... we've got real problems here.
I don't think Sega has the rights to Alien anymore.
Index's fate IS a problem
Otakus are an excellent market to mine for whales.Yes, a free to play game structured around offering licensed anime tie-in digital items in cash lotteries would go over real well here.
