The Game Business website has published an exclusive interview with Shuji Utsumi, CEO of SEGA America and SEGA Europe, and the COO and President of SEGA Corporation. The interview is an extensive one and well worth checking out if you have a passing interest in the long-running developer and publisher. Mr. Utsumi was asked about the console business and the growing threat of both PC and mobile devices. He said that he is concerned about this as his background has been launching beloved consoles such as the PlayStation and Dreamcast. Though he admitts that Nintendo has been “playing an amazing role” launching both critically acclaimed games and impressive hardware.
“Since I was a member of the PlayStation launch team, I have a big attachment to the console business,” he told us. “And Nintendo has been playing an amazing role… Jesus, they made a great contribution to this area. I didn’t expect Switch 1 to be that successful. Nobody did. But the big huge trend is PC, with its global market reach, and mobile, of course, which is getting better and better in terms of graphics.”
‘as they always do ‘
Another corporate overlord complimenting another for their strides in maximizing profits above the needs of the consumers. I want every quote taken down from these guys when all of this goes to the pits. They aren’t your friends
Not always
I can agree with his statement. PC games are no stranger to everybody.
Nintendo likes to make max profit above quality and specs of their device (as well as overrated games like Mario Kart) is what they mean.
That is a really affirming comment about Nintendo. The innovator really brings new and exciting soccer random game discoveries.
The storytelling in horror games can be incredibly powerful. I appreciate how many games delve into complex narratives that explore themes of fear, survival, and human psychology. It makes the experience not just scary, but thought-provoking!
