Sega, that's a completely irrelavent arguement. 'That guy from the late 30's' was talking about a technology that didn't exist, not improving on a currently non-mainstream technology. I agree with Seinfeld that this won't resurrect the industry at all. Arcades are going out the window..they're being replaced by PC Cafe's, which coincidentally normally have arcade units in them. Go to any PC Cafe around here and no one is playing any of the arcade games.
I don't doubt that this would pique a couple people's interest, but only the 'hardcore' arcade fans would actually play or use it in the long run, and they're the people that have been all along and are starting to get tired with where arcades are currently at. I don't know a single person who would get excited over this and run to an arcade. I'd go once just to see it, and probably never again.
This is horrible for Sega...I think they're going to lose their ass if it truly is 3d arcade technology. Sega can't afford another misstep, and I have a feeling the R&D on this will be more than they can make up in the amount of time they hope to.
