Full Version: Sega Exec backpedals on “Wii is dated” remarks

Don’t cross the Wii or its loyal fan base. Ever. I say this because today we learn that misguided Sega executive Scott Steinberg is probably in the doghouse this morning thanks to his comments from last week.As a refresher know this: Steinberg, using graphics and horsepower as his rationale, said the Wii would be dated in a few years. It seems he may have been drunk; with spirits or power, we may never know. What we do know is Sega has since fired off a press release to basically protect its ass. It was written, conveniently, by Steinberg himself..

Quote:
“It’s a shared responsibility and opportunity for the whole industry to take advantage of the possibilities of the Wii. If we don’t realize its true potential, we will have missed a great opportunity to expand creatively and that is what I was cautioning against in the Reuters interview […] I’m not just putting the responsibility of innovation on Nintendo. It’s on SEGA and all the publishers and developers as well to carry that flag.”


I haven’t seen that much backpedaling since I got a bit tipsy at my college graduation party and tried to ride my old bike “back in time.” I didn’t get very far and neither, it seems, did Scott Steinberg.

Sega, your crap anyway. So no one really cares about your opinion on the Wii anyway.

Its good to see you have taken back your words on the Wii, but it still doesn't change that you have said them and I will be holding them to your name every time you announce another sh*tty Sonic game for the Wii.

Sega, you suck.
lol, it seems like anyone who talks bad about the Wii learns there lesson. The hard way. >:3

But I agree with LMX on this anyways. XD
Yer I agree who actually takes notice of SEGA anymore! Take a leaf out of Nintendo's book and learn how to make good games.
I mean, look at it this way. Nintendo still make consoles, Sega do not. Automatically showing that Nintendo are doing better than Sega. Secondly, Nintendo have more good games than Sega do these days.
Lol It would be really funny if SEGA gatecrashed E3 stage and announced the Dreamcast 2 Toungue
if what ninty-wii said happened, no one would care, or theyd all laugh
Ah, Dreamcast 2. I'm sure that would go down as well as Dreamcast 1.
or secret rings Sad
IMO Secret rings sucked ass Toungue

Does anyone actually think we will see a company make a console apart from Nintendo,Sony and microsoft anytime soon?

Apple might...they seem to think they can do no wrong...notsaying weather it would work or not, but they might...they have convinced millions of people they NEED a $600 cellphone

An apple console would rock if they did it right.
I don't see Apple making a console...

Sega have done their dash as well, even their games are fading.
Mayby one day SEGA will give up and start to make playing cards Wink
yeah, really crappy playing cards...

hmmm, 1000th post...where is the party streamers and such
Sonic playing cards FTL

Contratulations on your 1000th post *gives you a medal*
Im not that far behind yah Big Grin
This post has now been portalised. I didn't do it, but kudos to the person that did.
It seems like everyone that has made rude remarks about the Wii has been quick to release a statement retracting their remarks.
We're talking about their failed systems (although DC was good)..

But let's think,
WHENS THE LAST TIME SEGA MADE A DECENT GAME?
