Sure, it would be brilliant if Sega were still making consoles, but would only give a rise to the chances of SEGA actually being declared bankrupt, which I certainly don't want to happen.
It's a good move that SEGA have done, making games for all consoles, and it's going to be difficult and a big risk for them to stop if they decide to release their own consoles again in the future.
Us gamers will have grown use to the idea of SEGA being a multi-format games developing company, and if they ceased to release games multi-format, I'm almost certain that would have a negative impact on the company.
As for the Gamecube... well it's easily on a par with the Dreamcast. Having played such marvels as Luigi's Mansion, Burnout, Super Smash Bros Melee, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle and Star Wars: Rogue Leader, and gasped in disbelief at the sheer graphical quality of the console, I have to say that if I don't get a Gamecube within the next few months... that antique axe thing in the cupboard under the stairs is gonna see the light of day very, very soon.
I bought my DC on launch day back in 1999 - it's a shame it has faded but I still play on it all the time.
The DC is a great console which didn't deserve to fail.
But the GC is a great console also, but it'll take time for the truly great games to arrive.
