Sega releases details on Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3 plans... |
Ó
There have been so many rumours floating about concerning Sega's plans for next generation consoles, its been hard to keep our head screwed on. It seems now, we understand much better what the plans are thanks to Sega's marketing person, Scott Steinberg. GameDaily BIZ interviewed Mr Steinberg, and below we have the findings from the short but informative discussion.To start with, Sega have made clear that with the release of the PS3 console both Sonic the Hedgehog and Full Auto 2: Battlelines will be available. After some time, in March '07, Virtua Fighter 5 will be released. Sonic and Full Auto will be PS3 exclusives, but after a certain time they will be spread to the Xbox 360.
With the Wii, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz will be available from launch, and Sonic Wild Fire will follow also in March. Together with this information, Sega announced some intriguing nit-bits. They said that true to common knowledge, Wii titles were cheaper to develop than Xbox and Ps3 titles, however the situation wasn't as bad as many have said it is. Sega also believe that the Wii will be a solid success, putting full confidence behind it, and even thinking about developing second generation titles for it.
When talking about PS3 pricing, they think $499 and $599, is expensive, however, firstly this isn't past what predictions put it at, and secondly it not only caters to gamers, but being a much cheaper Blu-Ray device, it caters for those in the market for home appliances. Also the PS3 is a much powerful device, meaning that price is a match for this performance.
Sega have backed up the argument concerning online capabilities of systems. They say that much isn't known about the PS3 online platform, so therefore they cant cater as well for it, however if they wish to develop for systems such as the Xbox 360, they can do so, because all corners have been revealed and dug into.

"I R TEH WINNAR"
Are you guys 10?
sweet, so we are getting full auto 2 on the 360 afterall :) now i want to hear about the arcade games, (prays to game gods that puyo puyo finds itself on xbla with online)
No, TheProfessor. They're 14 year old Americans on their summer break. Even worse.
forgot it's summer vacation
"Also the PS3 is a much powerful device, meaning that price is a match for this performance." You need games to make it worth 600$ also.
Yes, games like Virtual Fighter 5, which is PS3 exclusive and unlike Sonic, will not come to the 360 after some time.
***** yeah ill enjoy Final Fantasy Metal Gear Solid Teken Assains Creed Gran Turismo Heavenly Sword Heavey Rain the xbox 1.5 will be the dreamcast 2. lol
7-10 games for 600$.... I think i'll enjoy the 360 and wii with much more then 7 games for the same price as the ps3.
You are so full of crap only 8 exclusives? The Wall Final Fantasy Versus XIII Getaway Fifth Phantom Saga Endless Saga Devil May Cry 4 Tekken 6 Killzone Eyedentify Eight Days Unreal Tournament 2007 Gradius Naughty Dog PS3 Project Ratchet and Clank Big Time Revenge Final Fantasy XIII Afrika Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Virtua Fighter 5 Coded Arms Assault Assassin's Creed Warhawk Resistance: Fall of Man Fatal Inertia Bladestorm: The Hundred Years War Ridge Racer 7 Full Auto 2: Battlelines Shin Megami Tensei Makai Wars Heavenly Sword Ni-Oh Formula One 06 MotorStorm Generation of Chaos VI Lair Fatal Frame Genji 2 Hot Shots Golf 5 The Eye of Judgment Way of the Samurai 3 Monster Hunter 3 Redwood Falls Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom My SingStar Romance of the Three Kingdoms
are all those really in development right now? 45 exclusive games... *****... and 33-34 of them that ive played previous and loved and would buy the next intallment off, if not rent... then it would be 25 definitly. A good hand full of these comming out within the next year to year and a half. my pockets will hurt from the many many burns theyll have inflicted. so lets see my purchases for the next 1-2 years will be wii, plenty of old classics on their virtual console, 1-2 wii games so far, ps3 599 version, a ***** load of ps3 games, and maybe a xb360 if they get the backwards comaptibilty thing completed, along with 1-2 games, crysis for pc. damn... im going to need a better job... or drink less or something....
Fanboys love to make up crap to support the argument. But I am here to show everyone they are full of crap.!!
Why get a system that is just trying to pick up scraps of what ps3 is going to get exclusively.Xbox 360 has it's good games sure... but they dont have the third party developers ps3 has on it's side.If your worried about paying 600 dollars, maybe you should get off your ass and get a job or save.This could be the first step into you getting out of mommy and daddy's house for a change. x-box 360 is a poor man's dreamcast,good graphics and no games.
"If your worried about paying 600 dollars, maybe you should get off your ass and get a job or save." People like you are just pathetic, you really are. $600 is a lot of money, and for some people out there who ARE working and using their wages to support themselves and their families (yes, some of us have responsibilities), $600 is too much for a games console. For some, they can afford to pay $600 but they choose not too, preferring to wait until the price drops, and then they'll buy a PS3. So assuming people who can not or will not pay so much for a PS3 are not working and living at home, is just ignorant (not surprising given your post).
You wanna down sony fans because you say that they will only have a few good games on the PS3. Yet you Micro fanboys bought a 360 just for Halo 3 and paid 399 plus 100 for wifi which is close to the PS3 price but the PS3 will have so many more features it isn't even funny. I have well over 20 friends who have reserved a PS3 and so has my stepfather "even though he doesn't play games" for the bluray player. All of you can argue you all you want but every PS3 that is released before Christmas will be sold. So the PS3 will definatly sell at first but we will need to see how well the systems sell in 2007 and after to know exactly how the sells wil add up for Sony. $600 is a lot of money but I know a ton of people who work fastfood and pay $1000's for speakers and an amp for there car.
I am so sick of this crap from xbox fanboys.
"So assuming people who can not or will not pay so much for a PS3 are not working and living at home, is just ignorant". Dude, you dont have to be ashamed about living with your parents still. Maybe you to(yaz) might get a ps3 in the near future and maybe if your lucky, mommy will let you set it up in the living room.Good Luck to ya(you poor sap)
blah blah blah ooh look ps3 is a blu ray player whoopie sh*t Ijust want a nice priced console mainly for online play with as few stupid *****y yellow games where all the people run around with their stupid spiky hair, as possible and more of the games i want on my console you can say ooo look some jap is making a game where evry1 runs rownd with spiky hair and stupid magic ooo and its ps3 exclusive but no one cares my skin isnt yellow so i dont play them games ill be getting the Wii Wii as it is the best cos it has a good control which smelly noodle console stole and made tilt oooo look its a controlr and it tilts y what else is there to show at e3 oh w8 thers nothing just sum stupid control yuk yuk yuk loudninga you are a gay sony fanboy so go away and go have anal with ur console and dye ur skin yellow u stupid *****y jap u smell of noodles dirty yellow scum u dont say n e thing good just ur boring old coments that no one can read coz we dont speak ur stupid japanese all i see when u type is chong ching chong ps3 chang ching and no. 18 ur just a fat greasy rich boy with stupid rich frends who r retarded for buyin tha ps3 cuz its probly just made of noodles n e way
Dude your stupid ass insluts dont hurt me. If it makes you feel better that you cannt afford a PS3 contiune. By the way I am black stupid ass.
The point I'm making is that people have MANY different reasons for not wanting to or being able to pay $600 for a games console. If like the person I responded to you think this only applies to kids living at home with their parents, then you obviously have very little experience of life, and therefore you must be a child yourself. Grow up. :|
I just attacked myself. :D So this is for chrono; "The point I'm making is that people have MANY different reasons for not wanting to or being able to pay $600 for a games console.

Go back to africa playin ur bongo drums LoudNinja. Stealing a ps3 from a carboot sale isn't the same as buying it. By law u r my slave, my property, get out of my country.
Being anonymous online makes it's very easy for cowardly kids like you to act in a way you couldn't do in person.
you repeated quite alot of titles. Would you like to see all the 360 exclusives? or the wii? guess what? I don't give a *****. Go research yourself. Also...most of those games...look and sound retarded... Afrika? you mean the one with the giant rhino's ass? Genji 2? Hitpoints for massive dammage? Real time weapon change? Based on actual japanese history? sorry...not worth 600$ I'll spend 600$ on a wii and 360. With better games.
I like how the person who wrote the article felt the need to back up the PS3's stupid pricing, and that Sonic was a time exclusive (when it isn't). Also I can promise you that the 360 has much more/much better exclusive titles than the PS3. http://www.wii60.com/
