SEGA are dead? Washed up! No more consoles from this might Japanese developer!
But let's just imagine if SEGA did re-enter the Hardware market!
How would they fair?
Due to the Dreamcast's failure millions are getting their mitts on it cheap and so many are playing the Console's games. Now these people love this Console and with more people getting it because of the price drop if they bring out a new console to coincide with the GameSphere, Y Box and Playstation 3 they may get much more support!
But what other advantage will they of gained by becoming a 3rd party developer and coming back to the hardware side of things? Well the Gamecube owners who enjoyed Sonic and Phantasy Star online would think maybe we should get a SEGA as those SEGA games I played on the GC were excellent. SEGA would of grabbed a few Playstation and Microsoft fans as well because they have now witnessed what SEGA can do.
This is a cunning idea and if the GC fails (which it won't) I suspect Nintendo would do the same whilst building up a new powerful system and draw opposing fans away from their console sounds like a good idea to me.
What do you think? Would this be a clever ploy by SEGA?

It is a cunning plan, one that I've mentioned many times before.

GBA America = $100
GBA UK = $80
GC America = $200
Now that is double GBA America so double GBA UK
Converted into pounds that doesn't reach the 100 mark a bit more!

Yeah only rumoured though. The price of the console in the US will be $199.95
Convert that into pounds and it falls around the £100 mark. But really i cant see Nintendo releasing it for that price. Expect it to release around the £150-£160 mark. Dammit.

Sega should go away to their little Sega box in Japan and think, think long and very very hard and come up with a super console. It should feature a good selection of decent games at good prices, and the console should be the fastest, best graphics, and with Internet capabilities. This should all be at a fair price. This is what Sega need to think about, all hardware has to be cheap but amazing quality which is what you don’t see every day. Sega need to do the most thinking on when it should be released. It has to be timed so it will attract Sony fans from waiting for the PS3 and Nintendo fans waiting for Gamecube. (I hope this isn’t true but how long was Pd over its original release date?). Or Sega could go into making better arcade machines at better prices, I mean £1 of my hard earned cash is not worth a minute on House of the Dead is it now?
The prices of arcade games is ridiculous it should be like 20-50 pence, this would bring in the customers, 20p for a go on House of the Dead 2.... Me please!
