Everyone is going on about the next gen console war but if you ask me I think it was over well before it ever began . You only have too look at the state of things now too see that .
For example SEGA have announced that they are ceasing too make the dreamcast and putting the chipset into set top boxes for tv , so we can count the dreamcast out . Sony botched everything up with their pre-order scheme and I can tell you that because I was one of the first batch too get one . And the games , well don't mention them . Old games tweaked up a bit and the good ones seem to be getting put back till god knows when . Which leaves us with Microsoft and the X-BOX . Well if Bill Gates use his marketing savvy for selling things on this console which by the specs and software companies behind looks very promising indeed . I have already started saving for this new kid on the block .
So to sum up it is goodbye SEGA but good luck developing games . Sony I would like to say something nice but you just shot yourself in the foot by being too cocky and to Bill Gates I say good luck and show them what your made of .

Hey i run a charity ! :-)

Its called SavattsPocket Fund and i hope Mr Gates is reading cause he's more than welcome to make a donation :-)

Wouldn't mind Branson chipping in too - me and my gf have been good customers to him with our flights to see eachother ;-) Ok, so you get plenty of businessmen going back and fourth a lot, but thats different - we're paupers ! ;-))

What I'd like to say to Bill Gates is:

Instead of keeping all £70 billion why not give a few billion or even just millions to charaties all over the wold! Especially for the Indian Earthquake appeal cos they need the money more thn he does! An area about the size of Wales had been affected with thousands announced dead and I think it's millions without homes!

Anyway back to your topic, Sega are making games for most consoles, GBA has officially been announced and I'm not sure but I think PS2 has! And maybe the X-box and GAMECUBE...


...YES GAMECUBE! THE CONSOLE MADE BY THE MOST POPULAR GAMES COMPANY IN THE WORLD WHICH YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN TO MENTION...

...might have Sega developing for them.
