Your games have to sell well to be cash-cows. Maybe SEGA take a reasonable chunk from those Mario games they make.

Just because something sold well over 6 years ago doesn't mean it's a cash-cow now. Do you also think instrument games are cash-cows now?

Right and the key word here is were. Though maybe the comparison is unfair because the genre is now dead, whereas Sonic is still mostly alive.TheChaosBlue wrote:Honestly, instrument games were that, but failed horribly and now look at them. Done, over, kaput.
I don't even know what this is supposed to mean.TheChaosBlue wrote:And saying that something sold well over six years ago is refering to what now? Sonic, blah.
I don't care if you agree with me, just so long as you know you're wrong :)TheChaosBlue wrote:Please, everytime...going to keep proving that I'm wrong to make me agree with you are you?

6 years is a long time, a lot has changed since those games. We're at the end at the current generation 2/3 of the games you mentioned were last gen. Games cost more now, studios grow bigger, it's harder to sustain something with poor sales. Again, I realise the rhythm game comparison wasn't quite right. Sonic isn't dead, it still has a following, but it's not exactly lighting up any charts. Hardly a cash cow, in fact the only chart the last Sonic game came in was quite low in the EU sales chart.

I am doing, sadly. Of all 3 markets the EU was the only one where Generations charted high enough to show up.TheChaosBlue wrote: Got that, but basing this on EU sales charts? I figured this would have been both EU and US markets we were going on about......
