Yes, they are saying that SEGA, which is NO LONGER WORRIED about a new system launch, is developing games for its dead system. I am saying that if SEGA did indeed have a new console on the horizon, they would be devoting their $acred time to support that one instead. In other words, you guys are comparing apples and walnuts. *If* SEGA had a system on the way (like NINTENDO), *or if* NINTENDO was calling it quits (like SEGA), *then* you would have a comparable situation and you could make valid comparisons.
