Time to stir up the rumor mill. Sega might be working on new hardware that should cost between $900 - 1200. This isn't for the home.

Sonic, can you elaborate?
New hardware? Not for the home?
Even their high end RINGEDGE arcade board costs sub 300USD.

I hope it's something 3D (and that the ghost of Megadrive VR lives on)!
Arcade machines are one of the few devices that could make comfortable use of goggle-less 3D displays.

Goggle free 3D display technology.
That would give arcades such an edge that the home won't catch up for atleast a decade.
Imagine a HotD5 where the zombies are literally coming out of the screen.
Frightening stuff.

The Poster "Sonic" is a former employee of SEGA of America who still has contacts within the company, he is claiming that SEGA have hardware prepared that shall cost between $900-$1200 and shall not be for the home. Veterans of Beyond3D, "Function" and "TEXAN*" who have been posting there for many years under various usernames give their opinion and say it may be Goggle-Free 3D Stereoscopic Technology for the arcades.
If this is true, then SEGA shall no doubt single handedly resurrect the world's arcade industry because as "TEXAN*" quite rightly points out the home won't be able to catch up for decades.
