Sega also makes great hardware,and them making their own can help them make the best possible games they can make. If they go third party, the quality of their games will down, because they will not know the system as well as if they created it themselves.
If they do go third party, I personally would like to see them stay with one conosle al la Square, so they could really learn the system they develop for, most likely I would want them to go on Gamecube or X-Box, I just think Sony does not give the respect to Sega for making great games as Shigeru Miyamato does for Nintendo.
But, alas I don\'t believe this will happen any time soon, as Sega will be making large gains on both sides of the Pacific this year. Several million sellers have been made this year alone, many of which give Sega much needed royalty payments. Trust me, Sega is not gong out of the hardware market, if they do, it will be a sad day indeed, as Sega makes GREAT games, and their games that have been featured on other systems have turned out crappy, al la Afterburner on NES, Space Harrier on PC-Engine, etc.
I am hoping for the best.
