SEGA aren't leaving the console market. As proven here. They have Yakuza 5 coming out in Europe & US later this year and also Yakuza 6 next year. They've also mentioned Console sonic a few times.

I was told differently, but I guess they were wrong.
But the point is I still think a Sonic game for Steam would be cool.

I still think the cost of a AAA cross platform Sonic game is not worth the gamble to Sega anymore.
As that article says:
"SEGA has stated that they want to focus more on digital games and PC due to the area having a bigger profit margin and considering there are over a 125 million active users on Steam and a billion plus market on phones, do you really blame them?"
Looking over the past year releases theres a lot of focus on 3DS as well, which might be about cheaper dev costs. Still, Sega turned a profit in Q3. Makes a change!

You know I'm strangely perfectly ok if Sega just sticks to the PC or nintendo market. It'd mean less console to buy to collect the games.
....buuut since I don't collect the games anymore, it's a shame to see no true New Gen sonic game. Meanwhile though, sega is still stuck in the past, making the 25th anniversary another 20th anniversary.
20.2 really.

You have a point there. I also believe that if they put forth a good enough effort on the game (like they did graphically with the day/night levels and gameplay-wise with the day stages in Unleashed/World Adventure for PS3/XB360) and fan service (a la Generations), plus release over the four current platforms (consoles + pc), that they might even outsell whatever their current best-selling Sonic title is. Hopefully. Also, if they really decide to go the extra mile and release for the current portables and/or mobile devices, I desperately hope that they go the Sonic Rush route in terms of a decent and solid game. And to be honest (and to the possible disbelief to most people), I wouldn't mind another DIMPS game. As long as they do it right, like with their Advance series and/or Rush series. Anyways, I'll shut up for now. Gotta get back to schoolwork. Wheee~Twinny wrote:Whatever the next mainline Sonic title is going to be, it cannot be exclusive to one system/console this go around. We've seen its Nintendo deal and look how that turned out.
