    Re: Release date ...Does Sega wanna FAIL?

    I remember when Sega announced they were releasing every sports game on the same day at EA sports to compete. That idea went out the window fast.

      Yeah, that's why last year SEGA Sports won the Grand Slam title for having the best games for the 4 major sports games (NFL 2K3, NBA 2K3, NHL 2K3, and WSB 2K3).

                  Sega has always been a bit funky when it comes to marketing and release dates. I agree that its a bad move on their part..but its always been this way. sega has some odd ways of handling their buisness aspect of things.

                        Ironically, sales have gone like this:

                        2001 (WSB2K2, DC) - ~140,000, released in mid-August
                        2002 (WSB, XBOX) - ~110,000, released in late May
                        2003 (WSB2K3, XBOX) - ~85,000, released in early March

                        Obviously, the change from 3rd party to 1st party made a difference, as did the increase in competing titles, but it's still kind of funny

                              Wow you guys only sold 85,000 copies?

                              I thought it was more. This is a bit disheartening and hopefully a trend not to be continued.

                              WSB is just to good of a baseball game to have such numbers IMO.
