Sega IPs

Fuck
*We all know the story about how Sega fell out of the console market.

Cost reducing.

Selling Sonic's to autistic manchildren is risk free money

All their talented people quit or got headhunted

Everybody behind them got the fuck out. I mean, what would you do? Things didn't exactly look promising. Because SEGA isn't Konami they retired most of the IPs instead of handing them over to new teams to butcher.

Look where that got them. Festering in a ditch, barely staying alive.

But they mightt be totally dead if sonic wasn't working that street corner for them.

Literally all of their well known IP prior to the Dreamcast was arcade. All of the console original stuff was highly influenced by the arcades (SoR) or started in the arcades (Shinobi). You did have some cool stuff like ToeJam and Earl, but something like Space Harrier or Fantasy Zone was always the core. And that's a very good thing. It's what made Sega games great. But with the decline of arcades in the west and the rise of 16 bit kids whose first idea of games were platformers, Sega had a big job ahead of them to keep arcade IPs relevant like how Nintendo does with console games.

Instead they pretty much froze their arcade game legacies in the time period they came from and very rarely touched them again.

As for the console exclusives, part of the cool thing growing up with Sega was that we expected new IP. JSR and PD are great games, and do deserve a sequel because there's a lot you can do with them now, but Sega's design studios used to crank out amazing new IP at the drop of a hat. Look at how much Dreamcast got in the span of 18 months.

Nowdays they're risk averse since they're literally expected to bring a lot of IP back from a cold start.

I think some of the biggest names can work, like Shenmue or Streets of rage, but a lot of the other games might as well be new IP to the current generation.

Sakura Wars was huge, and started on Saturn.

...And is Japan only save for dubs of the Anime adaptation, ensuring that it would be left just as dead in the west.

This. The same happened to Konami and Capcom, the talent left, that' show we got companies like Treasure and Platinum in the first place.

The Panzer Dragoon guy did Crimson Dragon on the Xbox One, but I think it didn't got too much praise.
Yuji Naka did Rodea which kinda reminds me of Nights from what I've seen, but it was also a flop, it had virtually no marketing, I think it was published by Kadokawa.

Technically, it's not, but I get what you're trying to say

It would be an exception and his point would stand if there were Sakura Wars billboards in NYC

The story of Sega's decline is endless, it seems like a regular thing now that someone brings up some new angle on how everything went completely wrong for them. I used to play armchair CEO and think wait but if they had just done this, and then that etc... But now I think it was practically hopeless before anyone could have realized

:(

And they might be as big as Nintendo again, we can't know.
