Sega hardware rumor...
« on: May 12, 2004, 06:49:33 PM »
A shady story for sure but thought I\'d share anyway...

On the 12 th of May, Day 1 of E3, Sega will showcase to the world it\'s re-entry into the Console hardware arena.

We first reported on a rumour regarding Sega returning to hardware about a month ago, but now the rumour is a reality, Financially revitalised, finally debt free, Sega now firmly belives it has what it takes to rule the roost.

But why you may ask are they doing this? wouldn\'t it be suicide? well no, not really. You see when Sega was making the dreamcast hardware it was selling an average of between 25-30 million units of software per year. Since going third party that number has always remained in the 6-10 million range. Besides the reason for going third party in the first place was to stop the losses and have a chance to get rid of it\'s debt (well over a billion dollars). Third party was never a permanent business plan. Did Isao Okawa give away he\'s life savings to save a software developer? No! re-entering hardware in the next round was always the plan. Did Sammy splash out half a billion dollars just for arcade floor space? No!

What we\'re trying to get at is that the signs have always been there, but now rejoice!

IT IS TIME FOR THE BIGGEST COMEBACK STORY OF ALL TIME.

*Update* A Sega rep has informed us that the next machine will be of platinum color.

In a perfect world Sega would make an awesome comeback and reclaim 2nd place;)...and I would get NiGHTS 2.

Entering the console hardware arena at this point would be suicide.  Sony hasn\'t missed a beat, MS is picking up steam, and Nintendo is doin\' alright considering.  

The only place I could see a possibility of new hardware is in the portable arena.  Gameboy is the undisputed king, then Sony is ready to enter (with a hefty price tag for sure), and we have the disaster of Ngage.  There just might be room for GameGear 2...

Honestly, I\'d rather see the news of Sega pairing up with someone.  I think they would compliment any one console\'s lineup rather nicely...then maybe they could focus and deliver some more quality titles.

I\'ve seen the first post about a month ago at Gaming Age.  I wonder if this happens,  Will Sega support Xbox, PS2 and GC with games?

What does Sega know about hardware?  Sony makes chips and MS makes dev tools, along with having ties in the industry.

Yea I know they have the experience and AM2 is always innovating, I guess I\'m just tiffed I may have to buy yet another console to play Sega games :p

I ve read about this rumor somewhere else as well.If they do this they will sink.

They failed with the Saturn.They failed with the DC.And imagine.DC had all these AAA games.Everything seemed perfect for the future.What makes them so sure they can survive now if this is true?They have lost credibility and trust.They dont have fiancial power to start a well made marketing campaign to compete with Sony and MS.And I doubt if they have the financial power to start making a big number of projects to launch with the console.
As for hardware THX said it.And except for knowledge they dont even have the financial power to spend on research to create hardware that can compete.
Look at Sony.They ve spend millions(or was it billions) and years of research just for the development of the cell chip.

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

Since the rumor started there has been another rumor that Sega\'s new console has already failed.

I know how you feel... I really want to see Sega take hold of the industry, maybe once more. There never has been or would be a better comeback than Sega rising from the ashes and dominating.

Oh please....if Sega could be impregnated, you\'d mate with it like Thumper, the horny wabbit. :p
