The youth of today will likely grow up with nostalgia for the eternal battle between Sony and Microsoft. For the kids of yesteryear, though-that’s our way of politely reminding you that you are old-the phrase “console war” referred mainly to Nintendo and Sega. Neither company is especially warlike today. Nintendo is charting its own territory and Sega…well, Sega still exists, which itself is a kind of victory. So why exactly is Nintendo still around to “Nintendo it up” while Sega has been barred from creating another console for the rest of eternity? Well, it honestly comes down less to Nintendo winning the war than it does Sega making so many horrific decisions that they caused themselves to lose it. Here are the 10 Worst Decisions Sega Ever Made.

@MrZer093 3 года назад

5000% correct. It was like the Japanese branch was jealous of the success of their US branch and kept undermining them. Or maybe they were competitive with them. Either way, they just kept shooting themselves in the foot to spite...themselves? It was a really weird thing at the time that even Nintendo did back then but Sega took it to new levels. Japan really felt like they knew what the US wanted more than the US did.

All Sega USA did was release really really bad games and fail to get a 32bit Sonic game out with their self important STI studio that was filled with egotistical game designers. Kind of like The Travelling Willburies. A star studded line up that just don’t work well as a team and produce mediocre disposable crap.

Yes, Sega's success at its peak was mostly thanks to Sega USA, the Japan branch would frequently try to undermine and overrule them. Japan was the original Sega, so it seems that wounded pride got in the way of sound business decisions.

I think it's fair to note that Sega considered using DVD for the dreamcast but vetoed it because of the licensing fee and the increased cost of production. I think they where well aware of DVD being the future, but weren't really in the position financially to commit to it.

Unlike sega, Sony learned from all of the other manufacturers mistakes at the start, don't overproduce and sell 4 or 5 different systems of multiple generations at any one time, and respect your partners that you'll need to make software etc. I can't see Sony surviving in this space as we know it forever though, they seem to be a little less consumer friendly this generation

@jonnyOysters 3 года назад

The bit about DVD is unfair.... Sony was a DVD patent holder. Of all the companies that Generation they had the most to gain to include a dvd player. When the dreamcast was released in 98 it would of been an absolute fortune to include a DVD player. They would of definitely would not have been able to compete with the ps2!

@fizzyfuzz5878 3 года назад

The Dreamcast and DVD just had bad timing. In Japan it released in late 1998, while the PS2 was released there first in early 2000. Adding DVD functionality in late '98 would've raised the price substantially. Also I don't think DVDs were nearly as popular in late '98.

@ArminAwesome 3 года назад

So true. The playstation 2 launch was so succesful because it was a reasonably priced dvd player at the time. At the japanese launch, more people bought it with the matrix dvd than actual games.

@Chelaxim 3 года назад

Sony also had a part in creating the DVD format so they themselves were really the only people who could get away with putting a DVD player in their system. Just like PlayStation 3 and the Blu-ray player. Also due to Sony owning the right to DVDs if the GameCube and Dreamcast use DVD format then Sony themselves would still take a portion of the profits due to manufacturing the disc

@robertstuart480 3 года назад

DVDs weren't then, but literally(1) everybody knew DVDs were the future.

@jonnyOysters 3 года назад

Yeah I really can't call it a mistake, in that they really wouldn't of been able to include one at all specially as you said in 98. Sony shared the patent to DVD with Philips and Pioneer and therefore were able to make the PS2 relatively cheap to make it competitive and famously the cheapest DVD player at launch. There was no way Sega was going to be able to compete with that.

@thatonenerd9252 3 года назад

There were two dark ages for Sonic. The first one from 2004 to 2009 and from 2013 to ongoing. Sonic Heroes; whether you like it or not, suffered from quality decline compared to the Adventure games and Shadow would go on to use the same engine as Heroes. Heck; if you thought that Shadow had bad controls, they were even worse in Heroes and the rail grinding was glitchy as heck. As for 2010 to 2012; while the Sonic fanbase very often bashes on the change of tone these days; not to mention that Free Riders was legit bad, Sonic Colors and Sonic Generation were genuinely fun games and the first two Sega All Star Racing games are genuine gems. However, sadly, it was a short lived silver age and things have mostly just gotten worse since Free Riders. As for Sonic Mania, I don't consider it a masterpiece. Cool visuals aside, it's a very mediocre title that lacks originality.

@rousedrabble 2 года назад

My parents in the 4th gen got us a Sega due to price, then in 5th they got us an n64 for price-adjacent reasons. At the time the Saturn and ps1 released they weren't interested in upgrading us, but they had come around to the idea by the time the 64 rolled around. Gen 6 they surprised us with the ps2, and it was 100% because of the DVD player. They felt like they were buying two appliances instead of one. That was a massive deal at the time.

It was just too expensive at the time and the Dreamcast had to be $200. Releasing the Saturn early was a bad decision for sure. Although I love it have over 100 games for it that started it's downhill trend. The Dreamcast was a great system that had excellent games but it was too little too late. Sega didn't have the money to compete and that was that. In a way the Xbox is almost like the Dreamcast 2. It had a similar controller and Sega made a lot of games for it.

Now I love you guys but I must respectfully disagree on your point about Sonic. At best there are only really 3, maybe even 4, really bad Sonic games, those being Shadow, Sonic 06 and Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric. Sure Sonic Forces disappointed but its hardly a BAD game, the same can be said for many of the games in the series. To call it one of the worst franchises of all time is in my opinion a gross exaggeration especially when, as I've just mentioned, the last few weeks have shown that there's actually so much more good than bad and its just Internet culture (and people like Game Grumps) pushing this agenda that Sonic is bad. Sorry for the long rant but I just wanted to get my point out there. Sonic really isn't that bad.

To be fair, just like Nicolas Cage’s erroneous example of Thomas Edison inventing the lightbulb in the first National Treasure movie, they learned ten ways not to be successful, but it would seem they only needed one way to make success come knocking. For those unaware of what I’m alluding to, check out Sega’s method of dealing with fan projects versus Nintendo’s and you too will be amazed at how almost stupidly obvious the solution to their problem turned out to be.

$299 at E3 1995 was the beginning of the end. The rest was basically Sega stabbing itself with a knife and twisting it.

Beginning of the end? Just because they're out of the console market doesn't mean they're no longer producing awesome games, because they are.

Who brought the Night Trap suit against Sega?

@speedwaynutt 3 года назад

I would say Sonic 06 but that game gave us a entertaining Worst Games Ever(Vidiots) and Mikey Streamed the Game this year on his own Twitch channel ParrotBoy(ParrotBoy VODS on RU-vid for the Vods)

@drewbreezy5854 3 года назад

It's funny seeing these politicians argue about nighttrap...why not just buy the game and system and play it on the Senate floor? Oh yeah...logic never prevails in government

420 Blazin 1st Imagine if Total War didn't exist. That game gets too much hate. Yes diplomacy is shit but EU4 makes no sense sometimes. Its not some gold standard.

I have one bad decision they made just recently. They made a techno remix of Korobeiniki in Puyo Puyo Tetris 2. It just doesn't fit Tetris and it just sounds worse than the first PPT's remix. The first game's one was really good and more accurate to the original rearrangement. The second game's garbage track doesn't fit to the Red Square and Kremlin Wall background and it is literally just an empty shell of the first game's remix... Whatever I'll just use the fusion theme...

Sega treating Camelot like shit and limiting copies of Panzer Dragoon Saga in the West are the two worst things they did. Because of that my two favorite games of all time have never been ported or remade.

You know, Captain America was not that bad. It was very underrated, in my opinion. Especially if you could find it for a good price.

Without Sega one of my fav games of all time Persona 5 might not of been made. The developers Atlus that make Persona and Shin Megami Tensei almost went out of business until Sega purchased them.
