But didnt Asiasoft Pso2 just cut down its number of blocks on its ships? You don't really hear how well the other expansions are doing also.

I honestly think we would see a English login in page on the Japan site and a English language selection in game before you see a English version ever launched.

In any case, this is just another pitiful attempt to say "SEGA's crap now" once more. Are we on a Pso2 Forum dedicated to help people or on a site wanting to crucify a company which make a great game we're playing everyday ?

You do comprehend that if Sega falls under, so does PSO2, right? The point isn't that Sega's a bad company. The point is that Sega is steadily diminishing and might go bankrupt and that would be bad for its consumers. Duh. Too concentrated on badmouthing people to think your posts through?

Actually their were some bad Mario games like "Mario is Missing" or a few other educational games with Mario name on it.

Mario is Missing and Hotel Mario weren't made by Nintendo. Chances are good any educational ones have the same problem. So these don't qualify. I heard they weren't that bad either.

There's been like three times as many Mario games as there have been Sonic games anyway, so for Mario games to be consistently higher quality than Sonic games just furthers the point. Mario has no equivalent to Sonic 06 or Sonic Boom either.

Yeah I know that.... but I said "Bad" Mario games existed. It counts regardless of who made them. lol
Also didn't the failure of those games lead to the playstation 1?

But those were the case of third party licensing (much like the Zelda CD-i games); Nintendo themselves seem to washed their hands of them as well. Interestingly, SEGA developed the Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games series and were the publishers outside of Japan.

EDIT: This is what happens when you take 10 minutes to research: you miss tons of posts.

Is there a transcript or summary for that? 30mins is a bit much.
