And the agreement with Nintendo to make games with Sonic?! What did Nintendo ever do to Sega, Sega are sucking up to them! SEGA should've never made any Nintendo Wii U-Exclusive game! Sochi is so awful and if they want to make a Sonic-game "100% Sonic" and Lost World is the result then all the previous games were like 10 or 15 % Sonic. I'm so sorry for SEGA that they have to work together with Nintendo (their former rival among the game industry!) just because they couldn't publish any newer console. I just wish SEGA wouldn't depend on Nintendo so much because if Nintendo ever goes bankrubcty, what will happen to SEGA and Sonic Team? SEGA needs to make their own console that beats all the others to show Nintendo who's boss! They don't deserve to work together with Nintendo and their crappy Wii U and 3DS, I beg you SEGA, make your own console again, please!

The problem is though even if Sega gets ballsy and plan there own console then they'll need serious ker-ching to pull it off which they don't have. Also if Nintendo finds out then perhaps they'll convince Sega that they cannot financially pull it off and even if Sega does decide to continue, Nintendo may go sour towards them, such as denying video games to continue or throwing dirt in Sega's light.

And chances are a new Sega console would still not be as successful. Sure Sega loyalist will get the machine and perhaps the notion of a new console that rivals the Wii U will bring it great attention, but if it's not as good as the Wii U then doing so maybe suicidal for Sega.

So it's all about money and execution but mostly luck. Maybe SEGA even has ideas for a game that would be really, really, REALLY awesome since a couple of years but Nintendo is telling them that the game is not because they know that the game would beat all their games and "threatens" SEGA with ending the parntnership immediately if they release the game. Thats what I believe. If Nintendo keeps Sega in place, Nintendo can benefit from them more than they did when they were rivals.
