It\'s nothing compared to the amount of SEGA games that will be on GameCube and PS2.

"BIG NEWS from this morning\'s Sega meeting! READ!!"
"Sega held their official meeting this morning to discuss the company\'s future, and, while they were discussing the new financial plan, the company also talked a little bit about other things. The following news bits come courtesy of Famitsu...
First off, Sega HAS confirmed that they have begun development on Gamecube. Sonic Team, AM2 and Amusement Vision are the most heralded developers for the system thus far, but other teams will be joining in as well, including Hitmaker and Smilebit.
Sega is supposedly planning on having twenty-three Gamecube games at the show. Yes, you heard right, twenty-three. Unless Nintendo has other plans, this should ring true...and should make Sega\'s booth absolutely unstoppable.
Furthermore, Sega has confirmed that they\'re looking to bring the Sonic Team online RPG Phantasy Star Online to other formats, including the Gamecube and possibly even the Xbox. Coolness.
Fifty-three games in total will be spread across the three platforms, Xbox, Gamecube, and Playstation 2, and a whopping 65 should hit the Sega Dreamcast within the next year. This is double the amount (30) that we were promised earlier this year.
This is just the beginning, folks. We\'ll have more news to come as we gather it here at Cloudchaser! The future looks VERY bright for Sega."
Other articles haven\'t said anything about 23 games for GC, but it does pretty much guarantee that one of the following will happen:
A) Both GC and PS2 will have more SEGA games than Xbox.
B) GC will have the most SEGA games with PS2 having as much as the XBox.
C) PS2 will have the most SEGA games with GC having as much as the XBox.

Like everyone always says, don\'t rule out the chance of porting, if Sega is smart and sees a game sell well, it should port it and not play favs.
and it looks like they are spreading their DNA thick throughout all systems, so no matter which console you decide to get (even DC) you are guaranteed really great future games from Sega!!
X-Box - Panzer Dragoon (new one!!!!) JGR-Future
PS2 - VIRTUA FIGHTER 4! Space Channel 5
GC - looks to be the cream \'o\' the crop (Sonic Team and AM2 already working) could spell nxt Sonic on GC, along with next Shenmue, PSO, etc!
mmm, mmm, good ole 2001!!

Altered, aren\'t you forgetting about Nights, and the 50 or 60 so DC games that are supposed to come out!!!! If even half of those games turn out to be good, then that easily makes DC the greatest console of all time.
-
what is the point of this thread. This news is so old and you felt the need to rivive it with such a bias view.
-
My predictions in another thread regarding Sega have come true. GameCube and PS2 will be getting the majority of Sega games while Xbox will get the least( disredarding DC of course), hey badaboombadabing!...
Since Sonic Team has only announced NGC support so far then I guess NGC is the console that will probably get the next PSO installment and Sonic Adventure 3. Sweet.
I can\'t wait until E3 now to find out if this is true. I also think that Sega will announce will platform will be getting the magnificant Shenmue series.
-
XBOX - what is the point of this thread. This news is so old and you felt the need to rivive it with such a bias view
The news is old, yet it was reported yesterday :rolleyes:
Have I said that XBox is going to suck, or anything like that? What I\'ve said has a great chance of happening, and it just strengthens the fact that 1st and 2nd parties will decide the fate of this console war.
If I really wanted to add a bias view, then I would have said that XBox has decent, but not great, 1st and 2nd parties, and they totally depend on 3rd parties. If this is the situation for XBox, AND most of the 3rd party games are ported (Just like the SNES and Genisis days), then Xbox is in bad shape. Not to mention that they will have a tough time in Japan.

Sega has not announced the number of GC games. It\'s pure speculation.

Ethugg, I already said that in my first post.
Other articles haven\'t said anything about 23 games for GC, but it does pretty much guarantee that one of the following will happen:
A) Both GC and PS2 will have more SEGA games than Xbox.
B) GC will have the most SEGA games with PS2 having as much as the XBox.
C) PS2 will have the most SEGA games with GC having as much as the XBox.

DC already is te greatest system of all time,a nd surely the most underrated. :p
A nights sequel would be great! or even a straight port would still bat many of todays games coming out!
but Panzer effin DRAGOON!! I cannot wait!

Sorry I disagree, I will wait till E3 or even wait till xbox and GC comes out, before I open my mouth and speculate, forget about what the article says, until SEGA officially announces exactly what and how many games are being made for each console, it\'s all smoke up your ass.

Oh all Xbox fanboys say wait untill e3. First it was "wait till Gamestock" then when Xbox fell on it\'s ass, it\'s "wait untill TGS" and when Microsoft failed to make an impression, it\'s "wait untill e3". What will happen after e3, ogodly?

Actually, I heard "wait until E3" more than anything else, even before TGS and Gamestock. It only makes sense, seeing how it is the biggest trade show of the three.
I dunno.

Ogodly, what are you talking about? Sega officially announced that there would be 53 titles for XBox, GameCube, and PS2. It\'s all over the major websites. We already know that Xbox has 11 of them, so that leaves 42 for GC and PS2. So my scenarios are based on the fact that we know how many games will come to the XBox.

No, we know XB has at least 11 coming. We don\'t know that it\'s limited to 11. Since when do companies stop negotiating after having deals for a set number of games? New games are announced all the time. And the announcement includes GBA games too I believe.

The Playstation 2 has been out for a long time now and its failed to make any good impression at all. Whoops. If it wasn\'t for Japan picking up the PS2 as a DVD player, the PS2 would be a total flop.
I don\'t know how much you all get out of the house and actually see whats going on, but the damn thing ain\'t sell\'n outside of Japan. Japan clearly bought the PS2 as a DVD player ONLY, but then decided to buy a few games, thats why the software gaming market sucks for the PS2 over there. Here, it sucks even worse because there arn\'t anyone buying PS2\'s here. The DC by far made a bigger splash than the PS2 over in the States.
PS2 is underpowered and overpriced, but hey, it plays DVD movies.... duh!!!!!!!! Some of you folks really arn\'t that bright, but hey there are screwed up people out there with issues. Glad I\'m not one of them.

Dwarrior, I have never been kown to patronise the PS2. I share some of your feelings of disapontment towards this much hyped console. But no where would you see me insist that the PS2 isn\'t selling outside of Japan. The current world wide userbase stands at a figure close to 10million.
Dispute that if you will, but remember you\'d have to explain the DC\'s demise while producing a legitimate arguement for your..... assertions. :)

Funny how thats the same damn thing all the PS2 fanboys said before the launch and Sony got their asses kicked by Sega. Look at the grand scheme of things now.

Let\'s look @ the scheme of things as you said.
1) DC is dead.
2) PS2 has a great user base.
3) PS2 software sales are picking up everywhere. (even before the great games)
4) Many are disappointed w/X-box.
5) Nintendo has yet to show off GC. (till E3)
6) Yamauchi said if GC does not impress it may not even see the light of day.
7) PS2 is showing much greater power now.
8) Who gives a sh!t what happens? Gamers will be enjoying whatever games on whichever system. Why does everyone have penis envy?
Funny things can happen that\'s for sure. But the PS2 has a commanding lead @ least. Everyone else has to play catch-up and hope the folks in Japan grab their system and games. This coming from a loyal DC fan btw.

I agree with 15% of what you say. You know what everyone does have to play catch up to ps2, but I don\'t think it will be hard, because a lot of ppl are dissatified with ps2. I have about 20 ppl over my house playing games and none of them want a ps2 yet and mainly because they say they are not impressed with none of the games.
This week I have been playing n64 for some reason. 007 and winback have had me and all my friends stuck to the tv. And I don\'t how many your talking about that are not happy with xbox. But from what I see everyone is talking about it. and anticipating what it can do. And I can\'t wait for some great multi-player games. But I think xbox will get a huge welcome in usa and europe pretty much every where outside of japan. And all they need is 35% of the japanese market to jump on. Any way it goes I think xbox will kick ass. Because so far ps2 has not out done dreamcast. Too bad sega had a bad rep and many did not recieve them because they had the best sports and best line up of fighting games. And with games like pso,shenmue, jet grand radio and crazy taxi. dc kick ass. As of rite now I think ps2 did not outshine dc, but dreamcast has been out longer and better games are coming out on ps2. So all in all I got dc and ps2 and I am getting xbox and later gcn.

I like Sony games.
I will buy DC when it\'s $50. But I won\'t buy any Sonic or Nights b/c they are gay.
Nintendo is run by a Japnese-looking Walter Matthau.
Sony is run by this English dude.
Whoever runs Sega is like, in some support group and won\'t admit he\'s the owner :laughing:
Bill Gates is making a deal with Satan right now about getting everyone to buy an X-box. :evil:
This thread = stupid

I hope you mean in the number of good games and not sales wise. Even though I think the DC has better games, it\'s still an opinion.
A lot of ppl are dissatisfied w/PS2? ~10 million people? Or do a couple of your friends make up the entire gaming population? You don\'t get it, the mainstream is what makes the PS2 rule, and what keeps putting life into the PS2. It doesn\'t matter if us technogeeks/hardcore/whateverthef\'ckyouwanttocallus/ think otherwise. Regardless, I don\'t give a sh~t. M$ comes and conquers all, so what? Nintendo dies, so what? Sony falls over, so what? I\'ve given up in taking part of everyone\'s crusade. Fighting meaningless wars about the disappointments in the vg world. Rambling about which console will rule. I remember SEGA fans wanting to kill themselves when SEGA went 3rd party and announced support for SONY. Get over it.
I\'m not in any way belittling the gaming world, I will admit that I can barely live w/o it. Though some people just take it a tad bit too seriously, and I\'ve learned to move on.

The entire point of my post was that Sega kicked Sonys ass at E3, now look at them. All I am saying is not to count X-Box out.

X-box looks good, real good.

I kinda figured that\'s what you meant. And it makes complete sense. Things change, always. The only constant is change. If X-box turns out to be the god almighty console, then so be it. I\'ll be more than happy to get one. :)

Look @ things in perspective. Do we really want a new console to suck? I don\'t. The more great consoles there are, the better.
