Speculation mode: ACTIVATED

Sega's been pretty vocal about its 3DS version of Super Monkey Ball, but we know it's not the only game on the way from the house that Sonic built. Sega West's Alan Pritchard spoke to Game Informer about the company's plans, and without even confirming any new titles did enough to send the Nintendo Life Speculate-O-Tron into overdrive.

We have a number of 3DS titles in our line-up for next financial and calendar year. There’s four or five existing franchises, one or two from the old Sega IP locker, and we’re looking at one or two new IPs as well.

Of course the announcement of new series in development for 3DS is a welcome one, but with Sega's heritage there's an enormous number of franchises ripe for a 3DS revival: AfterBurner, Space Harrier and Streets of Rage to name but three.

Weird, though

Reiterates strong demand for Move

Head of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Andrew House is an old hand at Sony by now, having joined the company way back in 1990, meaning he's seen pretty much everything games-related the company has done. In a recent interview with MCV he spoke of the key to Move's success: games, not marketing.

We know a marketing push is important around a launch window, but what will really drive adoption of new technology is going to be great content. You can only sustain a certain amount of momentum just based on trying to ram product at people based on a strong marketing push. It really will be content that defines it.

Move's line-up for next year, with LittleBigPlanet 2, Killzone 3 and PlayStation Move Heroes amongst others is looking pretty strong, but Sony needs to ensure it's marketing the controller heavily alongside each title to maintain Move's uptake.
