A new gaming console from SEGA?

I would say that is wont happen simply for the reason that Sega has spread themselves very thin throughout the console world.
Sonic even appeared in Nintendo games.

Posted: Sat Feb 14, 2009 10:58 pmIf they are thinking of making another super console that is way ahead of its time that will make programming difficult and will not seek partnership with big gaming studios and franchishing and stick with timid propaganda, like they did with Sega CD, Saturn, Dreamcast, then they will bring Sammy down with them this time :^P
Posted: Sat Feb 14, 2009 11:14 pmWhat the hell are you talking about? The Sega Saturn was hard to program for, but the Dreamcast was very easy to program for. The rest is equally untrue.

Posted: Sun Feb 15, 2009 7:18 amYes. That's what I've heard too. Saturn was the one that had difficult hardware to create games on.BenoitRen wrote:What the hell are you talking about?

I've actually heard that only few programmers had the skills to actually get the most performance out of Saturn.

Arrgh, it's definitely!

My oldest was a mega drive, when i was a kid they sold it, i bought another off eBay, along with a DC and saturn. I never got PSOnline though. Too late now, my PS3 is plugged in! Time to play WAW!

I'm with you,but only time will tell
Posted: Mon Apr 13, 2009 4:58 amLet's see...
I have a NES, a SNES, 1st issue Genesis (the one with the headphone output), 3rd Genesis, Dreamcast, Gameboy SP, Gameboy Micro, and Nintendo DS.
I don't think I'd like to see a new Sega Console.
First off, it's realistically impossible seeing as how Sega has whored themselves out to all the different leaders of the console war (Mario & Sonic @ the olympics?) and to get their own IPs back on their own console would be a major stretch and likely destory many of the relationships that are keeping Sega afloat (Let's face it... how often do you hear of a Sega game you get excited about? Hardcore Sega fans need not answer.)
Secondly, even if in a theoretical scenario, Sega could maintain all their relationships and release a new console (despite the fact that they sold all their hardware technology to Nintendo) AND, (we're going on a major stretch now!) GET FANS EXCITED AND WILLING TO BUY IT IN NUMBERS SUFFICIENT TO MAKE IT A LETHAL COMPETITOR IN THE CONSOLE MARKET!!! -----
----
---- You still would not get very far past the fact that Sega seems to have a natural habit for shooting themselves in the foot(you know what I mean), and let's be honest with ourselves here... they've been doing it for over a decade now.
So one way or another... I just don't believe Sega could pull off a new console without burying themselves...
In your wildest dreams, Sega couldn't pull off a console release on their best day...

Posted: Mon Apr 13, 2009 10:39 amSega should make a new console. I've heard only good things about Dreamcast, even AVGN likes it. I would buy Dreamcast if I dared to spend money but I have one Dreamcast controller.
