of people were upset whenever Sega anounced that the Dreamcast was "dead", much like in the same way pre-pubescent schoolgirls did at the passing of Take That, but, also like the Passing of Take That, it has numerous good points.

1.Sega's primary talent, i.e. making games can be shared with all, not just DC owners. Games like Crazy Taxi will appear on the PS2.

2. Sega will be able to make games for the other formats, and also make them so that they will be able to take advantage of the other consoles power.

3. It will stop a small proportion of the market buying a console that is under supported. The DC was a good console in its own right, but the small number of 3rd party developers couldn't make enough high quality games to keep up with the rest of the market.

Comparing Sega to Take That. How odd.

Is Sonic the Hedgehog the Robbie Williams of gaming? That's the question we should be asking.

In Take That, Robbie was popular, but only with a small amount of the population ie young girls. The same could be said of Sonic, popular, but only as far as Sega console owners go.

Leaving Take That was a good move for young Robbie, and he's now in a position of one of the most popular pop stars in the country, and his music appeals to millions, not just small girls. Will the same fate come to Sonic the Hedgehog?

It seems quite likely that Sonic will go multiplatform, so will be there for a wider audience, and given the skill of Sonic Team, they will craft popular games for him. So Sonic should become a hugely popular gaming icon.

So if Sonic is the Robbie Williams of gaming, who is the Gary Barlow?
