Game Gear? Nomad?

No mention of Sega's handheld consoles? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.74.140.225 (talk) 20:35, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

A little biased?

This may be simply my own interpretation of this, but, I'll do a direct quote of a section in the article. "Launching with a small library of generally uninteresting software and in the shadow of the upcoming PS2". I bolded the part which essentially made it biased. The PS2 has nothing to do with the Dreamcast's library of games. They're two different game consoles. And why is it necessary to note "uninteresting"..? Please, enlighten me how that isn't making this a biased sentence. --65.43.229.57 (talk) 21:59, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

1,640 billion?

I'm pretty sure Sega hasn't made 1,640 billion. Maybe 1.6 billion, or possibly even 16 billion, but not 1,640 billion. However, I do not know the correct figure and thus cannot edit it. SaderBiscut (talk) 19:06, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Sega History

I bought the sega, the sega cd, the sega 32x, I played a lot of sega. What took out Sega, was Sony. Sega is not dead but if I were Sega I would target Sony or I would not do business with Sony. Simply, to me, this is logical, but, also why I put it in discussion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.234.3.77 (talk) 09:46, 19 September 2008 (UTC) The move from hardware to software was being talked about as early as 1999, as evidenced in Electronic Gaming Mothly Number 126, January 2000, Page 50. I've added a sentence to reflect this, but I always have trouble doing citations on Wikipedia, so it would be nice if someone could cite it for me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.60.219.183 (talk) 21:50, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Chequeboard design

There is a feature that runs through the Sonic games and has occurred in some other Sega games eg Super Monkey Ball Sega Superstars Tennis- a chequeboard design in 2 different colours. This may sound of limited interest but it is a highly relevant feature of some Sega games as far as I am concerned as the design greatly helps to accentuate the sense of speed integral to those games. I have always considered it as somewhat a hallmark of Sega's identity ever since Sonic the hedgehog.

In-house studios and such

Are these right? Because a lot of games that are developed by Sonic Team, have been listed as spread over several other teams? Doktor Wilhelm 17:32, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Sega is also a folk dance in Mauritius and La Reunion. We need a disambiguation page...

Merge from Sega Studios & Video Games

I'm trying to collapse this article as it's mostly redundant and an indiscriminate collection of information, besides being far from having many good qualities. Because of this, I'm merging a section over into this article from that one to preserve this content, as most of the content of the article will be preserved from what I'm doing to it. I'm not sure if this fits right where I'm putting it though, so I'd like some help if it doesn't fit right into the article. Thanks. Redphoenix526 (Talk) 02:43, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

"Service Games"

It's understandable that since Sega's former title was Service Games, the search would redirect here, but service games are also a genre of video games- i.e. Root Beer Tapper. Service Games should have a disambiguation page. 98.208.95.209 (talk) 09:10, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Criticisms

Do you think we should start a small criticisms and controversies section, not to bash Sega but to give a more well rounded opinion. Of course they wouldn't be our criticisms, just general critcisms from citable sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.132.11.177 (talk) 21:44, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

i agree, there have been many controversies surrounding Sega's decisins and the way that Sega promoted Genesis (Genesis does what Nintendont) has been critisised a lot. Generally, Segas adds were always controversial and Sega made a lot of wrong decisions which caused Sega to stop being succesful in N.America & Europe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.73.214.152 (talk) 17:00, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I think it needs a really good once-over, because there are some grammar issues and the organization of information is somewhat questionable. I just tried to clean up the Dreamcast section. 66.253.218.130 (talk) 14:28, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Coin operated photo booths

There's a mention of these being a surprise hit. Is this referring to photo booths for passport photos etc, or what has gone onto become purikura? If it's the latter, it worthy of a link at least. Anyone know? Lets Enjoy Life (talk) 04:36, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

snow job

This page is clearly written by non-English speakers, and is most likely written by Sega employees. It needs so many citations that most of it should be scrapped.Wuapinmon (talk) 04:46, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Sega has been shut down and has been canceled for good! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.30.142.218 (talk) 15:46, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

I wanted to contest the accuracy of some of the statements in this article. Particularly the line stating that the Dreamcast was the first home console to offer online gameplay. That is simply not true. Even Sega's own Saturn had online capabilities before Dreamcast did. Not to mention that SNES *AND* Genesis also had online features via the X Band Modem, which is not covered in the Sega Genesis section either. Phatrat1982 (talk) 15:40, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

this article has been brutily vandlized, and should be fixed.--Sonicobbsessed (talk) 00:07, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

pre-Dreamcast era R&D stucture

Is there a way to better integrate the earlier SEGA R&D stucture? The AM numbering and studio fiefdom structures are really only reflective of Dreamcast era Sega, and sorts of skirts over the strict arcade and consumer R&D divisions the company had in the 1980s to the mid 1990s. There's also no mention of Japanese studios which Sega was was formerly invested in in such as RED Entertainment, Gau Entertainment/Nextech, Sims, C.R.I. (which was folded into AM2), Access Games or others.

Is it true that SEGA cut 30 employees because of the economy problems?

Because I don't see it in the article and my source is sonic stadium. --Coconutfred73 (talk) 18:17, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Requesting moves.

I'd like to move this page and all the other pages to "SEGA...", etc.

What Happened?

Why does SEGA got of in the seventh-generation of vidio gaming, it might appear in the eighth generation CyberTech-100 05:16, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Pre-Magadrive Sega

Why does this article only begin with the Mega drive? Sega had two consoles I recall prior to the megadrive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.100.101.40 (talk) 00:15, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Virtua Racing was released for the MD 1994!

Sega operating system?

Where can I read up on the operating systems in the various products Sega manufactures? The main article should have a link to an article that describes what the Sega products do, and what operating systems are found in them? Dexter Nextnumber (talk) 23:54, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Sega is registered in the USPTO. I think it should be added. Railer-man (talk) 00:13, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Worms and viruses with respect to a potential threat!

Please note that the reference # 58 (filedes) please do not click, it should be reviewed and possibly removed as a reference, today I had problems with my computer when I called the URL!

Multiple Issues?

Does this article need the warning about "multiple issues?" There are only 2 or maybe 3 statements in the whole thing that have a "citation needed" next to them, the sourcing is fine, and I see little need for clean-up. Obviously, it could always be expanded with more data and refinements, but it really seems like at least some of the warnings on top of the page are not needed.TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 21:24, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

The citation request should definitly be removed,it is no longer neccessary.MilkStraw532 (talk) 21:32, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Then I will remove the reference to citations unless there is any dissent. For now, I will leave the "clean-up" request, and ask that another user weigh in on the topic.TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 02:26, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
