or

2)improve their game to the level of the competion's strengths

Sega could have still come out with a great game with numbers instead of names for the players, like the first Madden did before it got ITS license back in the genesis days. and it could have continued to push up the quality of football games in general, while bringing the price down.

now EA will have nothing to worry about from any competition, not even name recognition. remember, EA already forced Microsoft to shelve Fever (which was doing some genuinely awesome stuff with the passing game) to allow online Madden play on the Xbox. EA is abusing it's power (again) to keep their game number one. it's called a monopoly, and don't be surprised when you see the words 'anti-trust' come up soon.
