Sega's expecting big things from ex-Clover outfit Platinum Games, and is predicting two of the studio's upcoming games, MadWorld and Bayonetta, will be hits with Western audiences later this year.
Mike Hayes, COO and president of Sega Europe, acknowledged that casual games are "mostly where we have secured success" in recent times, but told Edge that 2009 will likely be a year in which core-focused titles perform strongly too.
"Madworld is so unique it aches," Hayes said of the Wii exclusive.
