Hey what would happen if Nintendo and Sega joined forces to make Dreamcube! The ultimate console.

Let me just point out a few things that could prove this true.
Nintendo themselves say that The Game Cube will be Nintendo’s last console, perhaps this is true because Nintendo and Sega will join forces to make a console, therefore not tactically a Nintendo console.
Next, perhaps Sega are going third party plainly to gain loads of cash to found such a great project. Not only will it found the project, but also gain a fan base. In time to come every gamer should have played at least one decent Sega nextgen game. Which means they’ll fall in love with Sega. Simple as that.

Perhaps Nintendo are selling off all their big companies that spend years making games, and are starting to buy little developers and assigning them to the job of making games for the next console. This could be funded by both Sega AND the money from Rare, not to mention from the Cube and GBA.

Ok, say this is all true. Who wouldn’t buy a Dreamcube? I know for a fact I would buy it. Regardless to it’s price. Sega, and Nintendo, on one console?! We’re talking supremacy, we’re talking perfection. There isn’t one gamer in the whole gaming world who doesn’t like either one of those developers. I want some one here to honestly say they wouldn’t buy the Dreamcube, and who would honestly say they hate both Nintendo and Sega.

Also think of the damned games that would come out. Think of Mario with Sonic in it. I mean, say they are planning this already, and they are developing games for the console already, with the speed and excellence of both developers we could see around 20 games ON RELEASE DAY.

Facing the facts, this isn’t true. And probably won’t ever happen. But I think it should. I mean, the Dream Cube would be a revolution in gaming. It would sell better than the PS2, the Dreamcast, the Xbox and the Game Cube put together. And no one can deny that it wouldn’t sell this well.

I too, had the DC and I now have the GC, and I love both.

If only Capcom would make a Powerstone 3!

If only!

I'd buy it. In fact, I'd buy any console produced by two merged companies. Be it Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo and Microsoft or Sega and Microsoft. In fact, I think a Microsoft - Sega buyout is on the cards, judging by Microsoft's present 'shopping spree' status.

Heh heh.

would be the Dream Console no doubt about It.

They did not say that, Satoru Iwata said Nintendo want to make better games as games are what consoles sucess are all about
> this is true because Nintendo and Sega will join forces to make a console.
That would just be admitting defeat on Nintendo's part.

Sega weren't good at marketing their console, if you ask me they released them at bad times, and thats why they have quit the console world and gone to creating games(Something which they are excellent at) I think the the consoles should be left to Nintendo and Sony, and even Microsoft to an extent, but Sega's place is making games.
Besides who needs a dreamcube when sega are already making games for the cube, whats the difference!?
