Sega's "explosive" E3 announcement
http://www.the-nextlevel.com/board/showthr...1601#post711601
check my initial post on the first page and then this follow up. would be uncanny if true.
"Forget what you heard about Sega reentering the console business. Forget about Shenmue 3. I work there. This is what's happening. Listen closely:
The announcement on May 12th at 10:00am PST will send shockwaves throughout the industry and will be an unprecedented first in the gaming market. Sega intends to form an alliance with a major console maker and co-develop the next generation console with them. In turn, all Sega games will be exclusive to that console and the Sega brand will be affixed to the front of the console much like a "Dolby Digital" logo. Yes, Sega is becoming a brand identification.
So no Dreamcast 2, No Alex Kidd Gamecube, No BS.
Cheers.

You know, there were all kinds of rumours before about Sega and MS teaming up. They DO need some recognition after all. Co-developing the next-gen console with MS really doesn't seem that proposterious at all.....

all sega ever needed to make a console a success was money (the scribes sega history taught me that). and ms has that. i can only see this as being good. thing is if it IS with ms than that pretty much screws the xbox name theyve tried to have recognized. than again that wasnt doing them many favors. put a japanese name on an american made system and see how it sells in japan. quite interesting.

I've argued this point many times. I support this idea. If someone with some money, like MS, were to put Sega's name on their next console... man, that would be HUGE. And I do think it's a good idea. I don't own any current generation consoles because, for one reason, no one console has more games I want than another. If Sega made games for one console, I'm thinking my choice would be pretty clear. It would also probably give Sega the ability to be more creative and risky than they have been in recent years. Games like Shenmue III might have a better chance to see the light of day.

If it's something we can't guess I suppose it won't be can new console (but it would be a great news) , it could be a sequel of a well know old SEGA game but I would be a bit disapointed. If it's "special" it can be they start to produce toys or produce a movie based on a game or anything else ... Well, we could do a poll about this explosive announcement

All right, I've got it.
It's an all new system... but it has new and improved blast processing and it's debuting with a Ristar sequel.
And on a separate note, a Nintendo/Sega console would be all I needed for the next generation. The two greats on one console, it couldn't be beat!

Somewhat OT, but I hear VIA is launching an x86 handheld. Would be cool to get a bunch of systems emulated on it (the thing isn't even released, and I'm already thinking of such applications, LOL).

A new console would be the most illogical thing Sega could do. Given the massive competition already existing and the move for game systems to become full home-entertainment systems (with the possiblity of integration with other electronics ), Sega's re-entry would be nothing short of suicide.
Thier continue support of other systems and developement of titles for those systems would also contradicts anything that would indicate that they are looking to develop a new console.
If there is any possibility of a "hardware" announcement, then it's in the handheld market. With Nintendo's GBA showing it's age and the COSTLY PSP still in the future, Sega could potentially enjoy some success my creating an afordable and well supported handheld gaming system. You also have to look at the fact that they've had some experience in the form of the GameGear, and are familiar with publishing agreements and running a console-type business. Quite honestly, right now would be the perfect time to do it if ever.
