emsley Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 http://www.freewebs.com/realgamesplayer/insiderscoops.htm Some person had this to say. Sega is making a new CONSOLE!!!Heres the info: World Exclusive - Sega to return to hardware! 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.

BoomBa_GoosE Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 this would be one hell of a change in gaming history if this were true. but to quote my favorite show "becker". he had a number 1 rule in life and he said, " No expectations, No dissapointments."

emsley Posted June 12, 2004 Author Share Posted June 12, 2004 Unnecessary locking of the thread, please show me the already posted discussion about Sega’s new [potentially] new hardware.I believe it was a discussion worth talking about, for whatever reason be it to talk crap, or even build are hopes up.
