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.
