Sega: Retail isn't going away |
Listed in: News Tags: Mike Hayes, Sega, Sonic
You'll still be going to the store to buy games in the future, says Sega.
"Net-net people are playing games more, net-net, the business is still growing, and in a way, some of the new businesses we're growing are less risky. So I think that the death of packaged games is a total exaggeration," said Sega West boss Mike Hayes. "But I think there's probably going to be a lot of necessary pruning and good husbandry [across the industry], which means that the quality for the consumer in the end is actually going to be better, because people are going drill into what they know is going to be successful."
"I think everyone's saying it's becoming all digital and no packaged; I just can't see that. I think both are going to coexist to a greater or lesser degree. I do like the comment I heard at GDC, which is that the day of the double-A game is over," he continued.
"I think that that's something that we would absolutely agree with. If you're not going to be in there with a product to really compete then your chances of making a return on that are going to be really limited."

Breathing air isn't going away.
Eating food isn't going away.
The sun isn't going away.
The universe isn't going away.

Feel free to use some of those Carl. We all know you love to post pointless articles just to get you post count up. Having fun there?

I have POV too, like:
"In my point of view, there is such a thing as gravity."
Now, the reaction from people with no common sense: "WOW, i support this guy 100%, since i TOO think that gravity exists."
