News has been reported today that SEGA have decided to pull out of appearing at this years Gamescom show in Cologne due to what they are calling a “purely commercial decision”. Im very suprised that this has happened as SEGA have various big titles being released later on in the year including, Sonic 4 and also Vanquish.
The news of this announcement was reported by Eurogamer.de and SEGA said the following regarding the reasons for not attending Gamescom 2010 –
“Despite huge success on the SEGA GamesCom 2009 and the Europe-wide importance of the Cologne exhibition SEGA has decided not to be represented this year with a stand,” it says.
“This decision has no way to do something with the Cologne and does not mean that SEGA will no longer participate in future on the grounds – the non-participation is purely a commercial decision for the year 2010. GamesCom remains for us the most important European industry event. “
