It is said that Sega and Bandai Namco are currently developing exclusive new games for it, especially the former is developing an IP that “will wipe the floor”. But with caution, “it will take at least 4 years to see some changes.”

Sony reportedly delayed The Last of Us multiplayer spin-off earlier this year, later “freezing” the development and ultimately axing the game. Since then, many have begun to question the sustainability of Sony’s strategy, especially since a well-known studio like Naughty Dog can’t pull it off.

Critics argue that the move from traditional single-player games to GaaS is a mistake. For example, it was previously reported that @David Jaffe, the father of “God of War”, claimed that Sony’s first-party studios were dissatisfied with such “service-oriented game strategies”, which led to frequent personnel changes.

David Jaffe claims that Jim Ryan’s development direction of “service-based games” has made many PlayStation first-party studios dissatisfied, and the changes in the “The Last of Us” multiplayer game project have also made these studios panic.

Sega expected to be able to control the cost of the DC mini within US$300, but failed to do so. Adam Koralik explained it this way, Sega once said “If we want to release it as a game console, the price will be $300 upwards, we need to put ‘real hardware’ in it, but the technology can’t make suitable hardware enough It’s cheap, so we can’t do it.” At the same time, “No one is happy with $300, people are really looking forward to $100.”

In addition, another factor that led to the eventual demise of the DC mini was technology. The YouTuber claims that Sega couldn’t make the DC mini as small as the Genesis Mini because two options were proposed internally, a complete redesign of an emulator, or a lower-end version with a PC port, but both options were rejected. Coupled with the poor market response of Sony’s PS mini version of the PlayStation Classic, Sega eventually abandoned its plan to launch the DC mini.

Note: Sega’s last game console is Dreamcast, or DC. After the device was discontinued in 2001, Sega withdrew from the home console hardware market altogether.
