Sega Sammy Reveals Number of Titles in Development

Posted May 20, 2006 at 6:13AM EST by QJ Staff

Sega Sammy (Yeah, Sega merged with Sammy a while back) has given a list of how many games they will be releasing in the fiscal year, which ends April 2007. All I can understand is that either Sega has no business sense or Sammy is having some Sonickind of affair with Sony.

PSP: 29 Titles
PlayStation2: 28 Titles
PlayStation3: 17 Titles
Nintendo DS: 17 Titles
Xbox 360: 14 Titles
Wii: 7 Titles
Gamecube: 2 Titles
Game Boy Advance: 2 Titles
Xbox: 1 Titles

As you can see, the PSP has more titles from the company than the Nintendo DS. The Wii has half the titles of the Xbox 360. Older systems such as the Gamecube and Xbox are actually receiving titles. Also, they expect to have 17 PS3 titles available in less than six months after the PS3 launches? Good luck with that guys.

To clarify, Sega's games have all sold best on Nintendo platforms and worst on the Microsoft platforms. Their titles on the home Sony consoles have done almost as well as on Nintendo consoles, but much of that stems from the large userbase (90 million users on PS2 as opposed to 20 million - 25 million on GCN and XBX).

It's kind of mind-boggling how they're still supporting the Gamecube and Xbox which are basically dead systems. However, we do expect Super Monkey Ball Adventure to do quite well.

So much for that PS3 article they a couple of days ago, on how many developers will switch to other consoles because no one would buy the system. Something about how it will be expensive and will cost too much to develop for. Don't know how many times I have to say this, but power of brand people, power of brand! That is why Sony is on top, and will happen again, no matter what the price is!

5, you're a moron. These aren't message boards. And we know you're trying to start something with Nintendo vs. Microsoft. And I agree with 6, Snake could take them both.



Yay Sega Sammy.



What's Sammy known for, anyway?

snake would beat master chief and samus, this is because snake is a little of both Plus Stealth. :)

I'll express my own opinion regardless of your opinion.

And damn, 17 PS3 GAMES!! Just from Sega alone. Even if every other companies doesn't release that many games for the PS3, the PS3 will still have the most games.

Sony is definitely not invincible. I mean, PSP has the PlayStation brand while DS didn't even have the Game Boy brand and the DS is winning there... 10 years ago, we thought Nintendo was invincible and Sony just took their market in one sweep. It could happen again.



Sega and Sammy merged a long time ago. It still says Sega on packages (my Sonic Rush has no mention of Sammy) but Sammy is involved with business decisions.



That's been done way too many times. Although I'd probably side with Samus. Ever got to the end of Zero Mission. I thought I was invincible >_>



Xbox and GCN are basically dead. Seriously. They're being mostly ignored for the next generation consoles. I know I'm not buying any upcoming GCN games except maybe Super Paper Mario. Yeah, I still play SSBM every day. Although now it's getting DREs =(

# WellGuest 2006-05-20 10:21
if you get the ratio #games GC/#games PS2 and

#games XBOX/# games PS2, both xbox and GC are pretty dead. Other than that M$ is not concerned about xbox anymore and Nintendo is trying to get better with the Wii so GC is barely supported (till Wii launch)



See you

"I mean, PSP has the PlayStation brand while DS didn't even have the Game Boy brand and the DS is winning there"



But the DS has backwards compatibility, whereas the PSP does not. Backwards compatibility is not all it's cracked up to be, but it serves the consumer well until they're able to buy the "must-buy" games over the next couple of months or years. It worked for Sony's PS2, and it defintely worked for the DS.



Btw...the DS did not need the GB brand, it had Nintendo stamped all over it.

# Umm Developed by SS only?hush404 2006-05-20 11:21
That list... is it games developed in house only by Sega Sammy? or does it include games developed by other teams and published by sega sammy? If it does include publishings then it makes sense.

# Re: DevelopedGuest 2006-05-20 11:33
I'm going to assume it means published. It would make more sense. Developed would be downright impossible. Especially the PS3 number.

Hmm; I can't say I actually trust the source tbh.



I think it looks like way too many games being released imho.



What we need to remember though is how many of these are multiplatform, how many of these are actually made by Sega(and not it's subsidaries like Creatuve Assembly...).

# HmmmGuest 2006-05-20 12:36
Maybe they are counting arcade games? XBLA is supposed to get a few SEGA games, and I wouldn't be surprised if the PS3 had an arcade feature and Sony released its games on there too.

# I spank Nintendo and MSGuest 2006-05-20 14:03
What you fools actually thought I was going to let go of the market?



I will continue to inflict pain into my enemies by getting the most titles to my systems just like I have in the past. This worked then and it will work now.



DS? huh PSP rules in the WEST! My Jap people just love their Nintendo handhelds and those damn old people buying up brain training games. I will rule handhelds in the future, you just wait and see. I've only just begun in that front. You all though N64 was going to stomp my PS and look at me now.



By the way Rushan S. keeps your fanboy comments to yourself and be professional. Those should be left for us.



And if your comparing machine numbers please compare the correct numbers I have around 105 million units sold fool. If you give that number because you mean users than don’t use the amount of XBX and Cube sales.



"105 million users on PS2 as opposed to 20 million - 25 million on GCN and XBX"

105million users pffft more like 50 because of all the systems with the dd errors

Reply
 

 
# 28Guest 2006-05-20 18:03
there was an estimated 23% (as quoted by game stop) failure rate on the delicate ps2, most dd's were caused by bumps and poor handling, a screw in a loose hole with wiggle out of place if jarred, to high of an allowed tolerence in design.. so in truth its more 75~78 million users if you want to factor in the dd errors but it will be more non the less because i think the dd returns were subtracted. BUT none the less... sony has to have something special going if poople will go out and buy the same system multiple times. so think about that.



Aslo the failure rate for the xbox is 17-18% for dd errors and considering their lower user base its understandable due to the less strain on manufacturing.



And i say that most dd errors were cause by drops, bumps, and poor handling. Because i had to fix close to a dozen ps2's and xboxs. And most worked till they were droped, hit with the contoller, or somthing in moving. OH and the food in the disk drive is horrible. Please take care of your machines. I had a ps2 from the second batch release and i had it for till this year and had to sell it for rent.... i cried.

# All I'm saying is if you comparing Users compare users if your comparing sales compare salesGuest 2006-05-20 18:31
Listen you losers that haven't bought my beautiful machine, the PS2, yet, due to your ignorance or the fact that your a 5 year old which means you had no say in the matter and your parents wanted to get you pokemon, I will admit to you, my PS2 had its problems but if you really want to compare active users for the PS2 vs the other machines then use the right numbers for all systems. (Wow I think that was the longest sentence in existence)



Also even though the PS2 had problems these usually occur at the beginning of it’s lifecycle. Most of my PS2 millions came after the fact. Another thing, please don't think for one second that all of the people who got faulty hardware bought a replacement system.



The blogger as a semi-professional should make his post in the correct manner otherwise he’s just some fanboy rambling about his love for sexual pleasures with Miyamoto and friends.

# Re: SonyGuest 2006-05-20 19:29
Where did you get the 105 million number from? The last update I have for the PS2 is at 90 million, but the European numbers haven't been updated for a while. If you've found European numbers, I'd love to see them because I haven't been able to track any down for ages.



However, that would also increase the sales of the GCN and Xbox. This is what I have currently:



Playstation 2: 90,193,857

Xbox: 24,178,281

Gamecube: 20,270,264

# Dead consoles?Guest 2006-05-20 23:37
Japanese companies have ALWAYS supported 'dead consoles' for YEARS after they were replaced. They just don't bother porting those games to the American market where people apparently throw away the old consoles when the new ones comeout.



(Not me. I've still got my Dreamcast. And I'd probably have my NES and SNES and Atari 2600/5200 if it were for the problem with corroding metal.)

Yeah... Umm well... it was big news that Sony had shipped their 100,000,000th PS2 back in November of 2005! I've also seen sales reports where the PS2 is still selling roughly 250,000 per month in North American alone.



Article for 100,000,000 PS2's:

...couldn't find the 250,000 sales report article.

that absolute BS snake would not win in a fight against M.C and samus. First of all he has no armor, no spcial power, no infinte bullets and mgs has some pretty bad stealth in it.

# Re: #33Guest 2006-05-21 06:26
Yes, but shipped has nothing to do with userbase, which was what I was talking about. Sony always uses shipped figures to make it sound like they've sold more than they really have. What I'm using are the sales numbers. Although I think that PS2 is likely hovering around the 100 million mark, I wouldn't say it's at 105 yet. However, since I have no proof it's reached 100, I put it at 90 which I have proof it reached.



Nintendo reports numbers sold to consumers, so I don't see why Sony doesn't. They should have access to those numbers as well.

Nah! I wont worry about that. Time will see. PS3 is too expensive and I am not stupid to buy it and no I wont save my money until PS3 is release because it would be stupid to waste over 500 dollars on this crap system! GEEZ!



Wii, you go! I am buying it from you, Nintendo! :D

# RE: #35hush404 2006-05-21 12:45
Ahh aight, sorry. I wonder tho, Do you think that the PS2's user base will continue to grow even when the PS3, WII and 360 are all out? It (PS2) has just had another price cut and is rumored to fall again sometime around the release of the PS3... so do you think casual gamers/ tradtional non-gamers will be more willing give it a look if it had a $99 price tag? I've also heard rumors that Sony has plans to support flash games on the PS2 along with possible PS3 esc tilt sensor controllers to try and grab some attention away from the Wii and show the non-informed non-gamers a even cheaper alternative.



I used the term "non-informed non-gamers" meaning everyday people who aren't into gaming but are intrigued by the idea and have no clue as what to buy.

# Re: #37Guest 2006-05-21 18:48
PS2 userbase will definitely keep growing for a while. There are still a load of games that will be coming out this year, including Okami and God of War II. Heck, I didn't even get my PS2 until March of this year. The PS2 is still usually the best or second best selling hardware every month in the USA. The only two that can ever beat it these days is the 360 and GBA.
