They posted a tremendous loss in revenue a few days ago I believe. A lot of titles will be cancelled as well as job cuts.

I think SEGA messed up a long time ago. Although Mario games had 3D instalments such as Luigi's mansion and Super Mario Galaxy, Nintendo did not refrain from returning to classics every now and again. SEGA wanted to take Sonic to a whole new level which I'm guessing gamers did not enjoy. I personally enjoy Sonic as a side scroller, but the 3D games aren't that bad either. Here's hoping SEGA figures something out soon.

SEGA is in bad shape, but not as bad as SEGA was when they dropped out of the gaming console business.

As long as Sega keeps Sonic The Hedgehog I'll be happy lol.

Sega has seen worse, but this is still awful news. It's a bit unfortunate when companies have to stick purely to their guns, but at least Sonic seems to be improving as of late.
