I really wasn't paying very close attention at all since I'm at work and was distracted at the time, but the implication I got was that the entire Sonic franchise was on lockdown to Nintendo. If that's wrong, then my bad. Personally? I don't care either way.

Who knows. They probably do have another Sonic platformer in development for PS4/Durango/PS3/360 (though Sonic tends to sell best on Nintendo platforms), but that may be a 2014 release.

It sounded like Nintendo have some partnership with Sega regarding Sonic for a period of time to me. Not surprised that I was wrong, though.

So Nintendo is not really involved, its just an exclusive? Fine. Another game that's probably going to suck and on the shittiest system possible. Sega are idiots for this.

Yahoo / AP's entertainment reporter are saying Sonic exclusivity is a three game deal:
http://news.yahoo.com/sonic-hedgehog-vid-games-coming-nintendo-144202899.html

Quote

Sega says it will exclusively release the next three games starring the popular blue critter on Nintendo platforms. The first title will be called "Sonic Lost World" and is set for release on the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS later this year.

edit: http://online.wsj.com/article/PR-CO-20130517-909120.html?mod=googlenews_wsj

Confirmed. Eurogamer suggesting it includes Mario & Sonic olympics in the deal, but that still leaves one unannounced game. The press release says:

Quote

The new agreement will make Nintendo consoles the number one destination for Sonic gaming over the next three titles with more details of the individual games being revealed in the coming weeks.

Quote

"Sonic the Hedgehog has proven incredibly successful on Nintendo platforms and we are pleased to continue our long-standing relationship with Nintendo," said John Cheng, President & COO, SEGA of America. "As we initiate this new exclusive partnership with the next three titles we believe that Wii U(TM) and Nintendo 3DS(TM) are ideal platforms to showcase the evolution of the Sonic brand."

What the hell is the point of buying exclusive Sonic content from a business perspective? Sonic games traditionally sell better on Nintendo systems. So Nintendo is overspending for something that will sell well on their system regardless, and Sega is limiting their sales to one console. It doesn't make sense for either party. The parents who buy Sonic shit buy it on the cheapest system - ie Nintendo systems.

I thought Nintendo was going to tease or show something to distract from the sales numbers, without spoiling their E3/ND plans. Guess not LOL, even Ntards aren't spinning this at GAF

No Fifa 14 for U

This was implied by EA having NO games whatsoever in development for Wii U, but who would have been able to get excited for FIFA 14 U anyway?

FIFA 13 on Wii U was a fork in development from the point of FIFA 12, it didn't have any of the added features, the improved physics and ball control, Ultimate Team etc. It was an extremely flawed SKU, and EAs spokesperson says "the commercial results were disappointing" -- no shit! They might have gotten away with it if they weren't so open about it -- in this article by MCV, they refer to the Wii U game as "Version 1" and the PS360 game as "version 2". You can find many other articles like that - they weren't hiding it. Weeks before Wii U launched, we knew that FIFA would be shite. Try the same tactics on the Durango SKU vs PS4 and see what happens. EAs exploitation of FIFA on the original Wii was even worse -- the Wii version of FIFA 13 was LITERALLY FIFA 12 with a roster update. Literally.

Nintendo have sucked balls at launching this console, and frankly they deserve to lose support, but Eurogamer really should have called that guy out on his expectations for FIFA 13, and called out EA generally

Quote

But EA has pulled out of the Wii U because sales of both hardware and software are dreadful. We're not officially allowed to report sales numbers from Chart Track in the UK but everyone in the publishing business can see them quite clearly. There's no need for pretence. When you can get to number one in the Wii U charts by selling less than 1000 units it's no longer a tragedy, it's an actual farce.

There's also today's announcement that Sega is handing publishing duties of Sonic the Hedgehog over to Nintendo, like Sonic the Hedgehog still means something to the games player. It doesn't, it's a tired old mascot who jumped the shark when Sega painted him black and gave him a gun. This deal is Sega begrudgingly admitting it can no longer market and sell kids games, and its last hope in a world of Moshi Monsters and Angry Birds is Nintendo. And if Nintendo can't sell another company's mascot, well, Sega is now prioritizing PC gaming anyway.

The article paints a broad brush thick with hyperbole, so much so I am tempted to think of it as click-bait, but the situation in the UK really IS that bad. The author goes to some pains in the editorial to paint it as an apocalyptic scenario, but revisit that idea in four weeks and I think you'll find it premature. We know too little of what's really coming for Wii U, and we know too little of what will be available in the fall for the new consoles and how much it will all cost. There will be opportunity and risks abound this Christmas.

I do think "death by apathy" is a great phrase though... it has the potential to describe the next round of industry casualties perfectly

But the real story here is that another person working in the tech industry is going to get his ass fired for not knowing how social media works. I have no idea how this keeps happening.

I can't see him getting fired. The tweets are gone, and what he was saying was essentially mirroring the company line really... well, the non-public one
