Sega do not produce games to drive console sales. Nintendo's games rarely, if ever, hit other platforms.

  They were very much in the console business for a long time.

  Which speaks to his point, once upon a time Sega would hog their IPs for their console and arcade games. They changed their strat abt a decade ago.

    They changed after they exited the console market. If Nintendo ever exit the console market then we can have that conversation about Nintendo IP on Stream. But if that happens, and it is a massive IF, that’s not going to happen for a long time.

      They were dipping toes in the water even before their console market exit. Specifically, Comix Zone in 1995 [0], as well as Sonic CD and Virtua Fighter PC in 1996[1] [0] - There were other Sega games published in 1995, but the examples I mention are titles specifically developed in house by Sega rather than titles by a 3rd party that they published. [1] - Politely ignoring that whole NV1 debacle here, since it was in the end a very niche card.

      If it happens, Nintendo has a long memory. Better to get on their good side now.
