A new console would be stupid. Why enter an already overcrowded marketplace, 4 next gen consoles out at one time is too much.
The co-development idea sounds more likely.

Bull**** I say. <_< :looney (the news story from Realgamesplayer)
Is it first may? No, the news are posted the third. Well, all I can do is pray...

I hope the news is false, Sega would be killing themselves by doing it.
You know, Sega better not be bankrolling on their die-hard fanbase. I'm still irritated from them pulling the DC with so little fanfare, shortly after pulling the Saturn and 32X (both of which were obstensively junk, but hey).
Besides, axelblazeadam is right. There are already 3 very well established consoles. Sega has been out of the marketplace for a very long time and their name doesn't have as much of a value as it once did (its zenith, arguably, during the 16-bit era).
There is a positive for it, I suppose, and that is all the Sega titles would be on the sega system. However, don't forget that since the DC lacked third party support, Sega was stretched to the limit to meet the demands of all the genres on its own. We all saw how that failed.
If Sega were to come out with another console, we would definetely see companies working even harder to lock up third party developers. MS, most certainly would work harder. The 2nd spot is theirs to lose, since Nintendo isn't the force it once was.
I know there are other people on this board who have been clamoring for a Sega system (with good cause, I know), but I'm not one of them. So I'll be the cynic, and take this with a grain of salt.

Hopefully, if it is a new system, it's a joint venture w/ the big N. I wouldn't need another console if so, haha. I have been waiting for something liek this since the early 90's, lets see how it works out....
Maybe SEGA is gunna release their own pokemon-esque game.....except w/ Chao-based animals, haha. WOuldn't that make everyone go "WTF!?".

The best thing Sega could do for its fanbase is have at least one console in which all its games are released on, so there's no need to buy every console to play every Sega game.
Did anyone actually look at that terrible website?
It screams fake.
