Well shit. I guess we'll never see KH3.

As for Sega, I believe they're due for a revival. Some small part of me is expecting Sega to announce a console at E3. After which, I will proceed to preorder it.

Yay arbitrary numbers pulled out of someones ass.

EDIT: Note that NA Sega can, and I hope does, go die. Not localizing VC3 makes them fucking useless anyway.

Companies that I've always known and loved recieve bad marks (except Nintendo) and somehow a company I've NEVER heard of gets nearly as much points as Nintendo.

WTF is Gree?

...looks legit. That's all I have to say.

Really? Nintendo being out of the gaming industry is like saying the Sun isn't hot.
Konami I was going to agree with, but then I thought of Metal Gear Solid, so nope, they're here for a while.
Capcom disappearing? As bloody if. As long as they keep making Street Fighter, Resident Evil and their other big titles, they're in.
Sega? No, even though Sonic games are somewhat subpar, there's always going to be a fanbase and enough for Sega to survive off of.
SCE. No comment. That's it. That one left me speechless.

nintendo makes kids toy, so as long as there's still kids around in 10 years, so will nintendo

Just move along,folks. Nothing to see here.

Oh, the sad thing is this thing is kinda true.

Nintendo has a higher survival rate than the others because they're the only one actively working towards casual gamers (which is the new market for investors). Gree instead are a big player in social gaming, and most importantly, they're also in the smartphones/tablets market. The others are doing zilch in that direction, except churning out PORTS, PORTS and MORE PORTS.

Still, I would've given some more points to Sony, as they're probably going to sell themselves to social gaming pretty soon (hey, they've already tried the Casual Gamer direction with Move, too!).

Whether then discuss the issues I have in you post, I'll just leave this here because you have reminded me about it.

"What we're trying to do with this... it's more hardcore than most motion games are. Most motion games are intended to be very, very casual. They have an almost Simon Says quality to them. We wanted something that would appeal to a more hardcore audience and would have depth and complexity. So we wanted to make it more interesting for the hardcore but still make it easy enough that the average Move owner – who may have bought it as a casual gaming system – can still play the game," Upton explained.

I doubt they are going to die before 10 years.

Gree is a social gaming system only avaliable in Japan.

Ishihara should ban these games, if he wanst something that's "harmful to youth", well these are harmful to all gamers not just youth.

Explain to me in layman's terms how the controller dictates what the content of a game is. I was *convinced* that it's the developer's choice what to release. Fair play, most motion controlled games are "casual" in nature HOWEVER there are instances of fantastic hardcore games using "motion controllers" aswell - Mad World, No More Heroes, Rise of Nightmares, Skyward Sword, Red Steel, Sorcery, The Fight - just to name a few. The controller does not dictate neither depth nor complexity of games - 'nough said.

The rankings are based on a system they aren't giving out? One good reason not to take this seriously.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

Where's Microsoft between?

For gaming in Japan they're at about a -7. For not gaming they're probably at a solid 10. You think Japan uses Macs? Yeah, sure.

 

[vpd]

Sounds like BS to me, Nintendo will survive and other companies, but something like this Gree social gaming thing, yeah if you focus your business purely on that you will be fucked when the social gaming bubble bursts.

Yay arbitrary numbers pulled out of someones ass.

EDIT: Note that NA Sega can, and I hope does, go die. Not localizing VC3 makes them fucking useless anyway.

why do people always forget to mention that they didn't fucking localize psp2 infinity
fuck you sega, and about that can somebody tell me a bit about psp hex editing because i need to translate it and it won't be very hard since devifoxx made a translation guide that tranlates everything that i may use with his permission...

Well they localized PSPo2 in the first place and I doubt it sold like hotcakes. I would see VC3 as much more likely than PSPo2i.

But I did really want VC3, VC2 kicked a lot of ass, and that's coming from someone who can't stand playing strategy or SRPG games.

but on PSPo2 i find hoards of people online, so that's pretty much successful right?

Yeah I was offput by VC at first, because it was stated to be a strategy game. Felt like a complete moron when I finally tried it and found it to be one of my favorite games of all time.
VC2 was awesome as well. Loved the improvements they made, except splitting the map into multiple segments and greatly limiting troop density on the battlefield. Still worked great.

But VC2 apparently sold like shit thanks to it going from a serious war setting, to a highschool setting. Put a lot of people off apparently. Why Sega thought "Well ok, the PS3 war game sold fantastic...the PSP school one sold like shit, so clearly, this serious PSP war setting will sell like shit too."
Sega. You're retarded, and I hate you.

 

[Demonbart]

First off, WTF is Gree?
Second, I call bullshit. I'm pretty damn sure that both Sony and Square will be around in 10 years.

i agree, if you gave is VC3 and infinity i'd insta buy, and i never bought a psp game before(my friends give me some because i mod their psps' + incredibly rampant piracy)

I hope they're kidding. Sony dead in 10 years? Blasphemy! I know some things can't be predicted but a company like Sony won't go down without a fight.
I mean Sega stopped being "a big player" from 2002 and it continued to live on...

Sony certainly won't go down.
The key word is "Computer Entertainment".
That said, I don't think Sony Computer Entertainment will die in 10 years. More likely to develop Xperia Play Vitas or something.
