Interesting.......Famitsu: big hardware announcement in spring 2002......

In der neuesten Famitsu befindet sich eine News Meldung, nach der im Frühjahr 2002 in Japan eine wichtige Hardware-Ankündigung stattfinden soll. Um welchen Hersteller es sich handelt ist ebenso unklar wie die Hardware, um die es geht."

Quick translation by me:

In the newest issue of Famitsu, the magazine reports about a big hardware announcement in Spring 2002. It\'s not known what company is behind this announcement, nor is there any indication of what hardware it\'s all about.

Hmmmmmmmm...............any idea on what this could be?  Perhaps Dreamcast 2 maybe?  Give me your thoughts on this.........

:cool::thepimp:

I wish Sega would jump back into the game, but I doubt it\'s them.

Maybe 3DO is ready for a comeback.

Ace

I highy doubt this

If so, they are doomed. They will come too late to compete with xbox, GC and ps2 simultanously.

Perhaps that rumored portable sony handheld system.

The Segway "IT" Scooter is about to be unleashed in Japan.

:nut:

this may be a shot in the dark, but atari has been slient for too long

if they are even still a company, perhaps hasbro bought them out, i dunno

That came to my mind too . There was an article in some magazine about a handheld with the PSone chip.

Or Microsoft heard the Japanese are handheld maniacs and announce their " Xboy "

There not a real company anymore I think, but the name was bought by Infogrames. They start to sell software with the Atari name.

infrogames bought the Atari name and has already applied it to a few PS2 games. Splashdown being one of them


There are really only a few options here

The bundled PS2 withharddrive included

the PS3

or

the Sony handheld unit

who knows

God I hope it\'s a Sony handhelled..
GBA really needs some competition..

I doubt it\'s another contender in the console race. They\'d be DOA to try an release another console next year. With so many people absorbing the price shock of setting up their new Nintnedo, Sony, or Microsoft system (or any combination of the 3).. I doubt the market would be a very welcoming place for a newcomer.

Sega has made an announcement that they are going to be producing Dreamcasts units again. Although at a very limited number.. around 100,000 or so, and AFAIK only in Japan. If Sega ~HAS~ found a way to make a profit by selling the Dreamcast at $50 dollars, then they may very well continue to produce and support the console as a side effort with 3rd party development being first priority. Though as unlikely as this is.. it would be nice for Sega to support the Dreamcast long after it\'s "death" unlike a few of their other consoles as a way of saying "I\'m sorry, were gonna do things right this time" to their many fans.

OH MY GOD! it is the Atari Jaguar 2!






:hat:ScottyJ:hat:

THE VIRTUAL BOY IS RETURNING!??!?!

PS3?

No, not the ps3 Its too early for that

Yes, I think it will be a handhel, since they are the only ones who have still some change competing with GBA, Maybe a new wonderswan, a sega handheld!(I hope so ) or a sony handheld

Everyone is saying that it could be sony hand held, just imagine if it was Microsoft bring a handheld out, i think that would be a shock, i think nintendo has had enough time on it\'s own in the handheld market.
I think if it is another console then that company is in for a shock, because i think the market can just about take 3 consoles let alone 4, it just won\'t work, and if it is then they are going up agianst some big guns, i think the only way that the xbox will lasts is because MS has alot of cash to play with, they can really push the xbox in the marketing department, i mean we all saw what happaned to Sega, and i do think the Xbox will still be here in 5 years time, i think it might do another ps1 as soon as the price drops people will go mad for it, and hope that it is still here because so far what i have played it is a very good console and i am having alot of fun, and it is good for sony to have some compotition, because they have to make sure everything is just that bit better, which is good news for us gamers.
