Sega OWNED Europe (or parts of it). They flopped in Japan and fought tooth and nail in US. It's cuz Japan was the only territory Nintendo *stomped* them in. Till the evil Sony came on the scene that is. I could look for the sales numbers but don't really have time.

Errr, when was that?
Because in the 16-bit era, Nintendo was the clear winner everywhere (worlwide). Then it was $ony with the PS1 and the PS2 for the next generations.
So I'm puzzled by your comment!

There's no Master System on that list, now we'll never know!

segagamer12 · « **Reply #1582 on:** March 09, 2007, 12:07:56 PM »

I was talking about Genesis, Nintendo was not the 'clear winner' only in japan. They had to fight hard in US.

Overal the difference between Genesis and SNES final numebrs wasnt far enough to say they creamed them. Only in Japan did they truly kill Sega.

Mikintosh · « **Reply #1583 on:** March 09, 2007, 02:01:35 PM »

I had no idea the Genesis did so bad in Japan, considering the company's, y'know, based there. Is there a reason why?

Yay, Game Boy is still on top by a bit; makes a handheld afficionado happy.

King of Twitch · « **Reply #1584 on:** March 09, 2007, 02:47:23 PM »

Nintendoes what Segcan't?

KDR_11k · « **Reply #1585 on:** March 09, 2007, 07:56:33 PM »

Mikintosh: Actually Sega was founded in the US.

segagamer12 · « **Reply #1586 on:** March 10, 2007, 05:17:30 AM »

Not true even. Segas was founded by a US citizaen who went to Japan for Military and say how popular arcades were in that country. he bought out a couple of Slot machine and Jukebox facrtories and created SErvice GAmes.

They have ALYWAYS been based in Japan. The problem is they focused more on US than Japan because they DOMINATED arcades everywhere and thought they could take US from Nintendo because they knew they couldn't in Japan. It's Nintendos home land too you know.

UPDATE

OK I maybe was a little off, it seams SMS is the system Sega had a stronger footing in. I always thought Genesis did too but it wasnt that sucessful over their either.

The Inquirer just got their PAL PS3's and tested out PS2 games God of War, MGS 2: Sons of Liberty, MGS 3: Snake Eater, Shadow of the Colossus, Guitar Hero 2, Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones, Okami, GTA: Liberty City Stories, Eragon, Final Fantasy X-2, Ratchet & Clank 3, and Lumines Plus. Out of the 12, only one was backwards compatible. Eragon.

Wow, that is just sad.

Pittbboi · « **Reply #1589 on:** March 13, 2007, 04:27:33 PM »

LOL--just when things were starting to look up for Sony. Knew it wasn't going to last long.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #1590 on:** March 13, 2007, 06:25:26 PM »

Now can someone explain to me why Sony decided to drop their already flawed backwards compatibility for the PAL region?

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #1591 on:** March 13, 2007, 06:49:50 PM »

Because it'll help people realize they should be buying quality PS3 games instead.

IceCold · « **Reply #1592 on:** March 13, 2007, 06:51:28 PM »

To cut costs. Even though the European price is more than $800 US, and only the premium version is available. They really got screwed.

oohhboy · « **Reply #1593 on:** March 13, 2007, 06:55:33 PM »

It is an attemp to cut costs by lowering the number of parts needed to make a PS3. The problem I see with this besides the obvious problems so far is that they will have to continue to spend additional money to develop the software needed to enable BC. This cost is not fixed and could continue indiffinately or they can cut and run like Microsoft with the 360.

Removing the chip to me seems like a knee-jerk move on their part to cut down costs.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #1594 on:** March 13, 2007, 09:21:24 PM »

Next up: Sony states that Europeans are used to cut features.

BTW, why do you link to Kotaku when The Inquirer was the one that translated the story and Cynamite was the site that wrote it?

Ceric · « **Reply #1595 on:** March 14, 2007, 08:12:39 AM »

Great.... Now I have to decide that if I will ever want to get a PS3. I wish they would announce that KH3 will or will not be exclusive to the PS3. If it is I will have to pick one up for my wife and you better bet I want one that is 80% backward compatible.

It's hard to believe that the SNES didn't blow the Genesis out of the water. I have both but the SNES library was so much better, it was basically N64 + PS1.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #1597 on:** March 14, 2007, 02:53:04 PM »

I took a stroll by the video game section at best Buy today - they had 17, yes, SEVENTEEN 60GB PS3s.

The SNES being better then the Genesis is pretty much fact at this point, although I'm not sure why it would be such a touchy issue for you.

I was Genesis owner for most of the 16 bit generation, only getting on board the SNES when Donkey Kong Country came out... and boy did I regret not getting one sooner.
