"Sega's future....."

Sega will release another console. At least, that's what I think and as I work for Sega Europe, I should know.

Sega has plans to release a 1024 bit console in 2008. They are currently around 40% of the ay through the basic design and implementation stage.

Sega hopes to ship the dev kits in 2006, giving all developers 2 years to create a number of games for launch. Sega wants a similtaneous worldwide luanch for the new console, tentatively named DarkStar.

As the console is still in the design stage, no definate hardware has been decided upon. Sega are aiming for 256MB RAM, a 40GB hard drive, ethernet connection, 4 controller ports, as well as a 2 machine link up.

Sega knows this console will take off as, in the next 5 years, they're going to release some "Kick ar$e software to drill it into everytone that we CAN make wicked games." By the time the DarkStar is released, everyone will associate Sega with top quality software, and will want to continue playing these titles, so they will buy the DarkStar.

Currently, 75% of all software companies have sighed up to develop for the console, including EA, who were notably absent from the DC's developer list.

Sega are currently working, closely and secretly, with Nintendo, on some cross platform internet games to play on the DarkStar and Nintendo's next project.

Sega are also working closly with the major European telephone companies to ensure broadband is available to EVERYONE by 2008.

All in all, the future's looking bright.

I got my copy of PCZ on saturday.

I was reading it last night and saw the 20GHz thing. I don't have 'net access in the evenings, yet, so I wrote my piece on the CPU's yesturday eveing, and posted it as soon as I got into work today.

My small comment about in the yr 2007 we will have processors as fast as 20ghz becuase of the topic about future CPU etc.

And you posted a topic about 20ghz computers moments after!!!!!!!!

You posted what before I posted this topic?

Dunno, I said I posted it before you posted the topic on it, and when did you get yer copy of this months PCZONE?

What are you talking about?

No I posted this before you posted yer topic, anyway we both must of bought the PCZONE mag, I got mine yesterday when did you get yours?

Zeldapro!

I'ver just written a piece about that!

Did you know that by 2007 we will have PC units and processors as fast as 20ghz!!

Then I guess that the government will have to get their fat little fingers out and do something about it....

...or they'll be in biiiiiiiiiiig trouble!

pb, what you say is true, but the fact is that the government has already sold off the rights for the analogue "bandwidth of the sky" or whatever the technical term is.

By 2010, everyone has to have either a Digital TV, or a digital set top box thingy.

Fact.
