Sammy takes over Sega

[The Former DMiller]

Yeah, but what's good for us GameCube fans wasn't necessarily good for Sega. They needed to focus on PS2 because they were in a very delicate situation financially and the PS2 has by-far the largest userbase. Sega games sold like crap on Xbox and MS even bundled them trying to get rid of them. I still think they should have put Monkey Ball and the Sonic ports on both PS2 and GameCube, though, since those games sold pretty well for third-party GameCube games. If Sega had focused on one console, though, they wouldn't have split up their fans. Not every hardcore Sega fan can afford to buy all three consoles, so those who stuck with one console ended up not buying Sega's games on other consoles. Given the niche quality of many of Sega's titles it is not a good idea to split up your userbase.
