As if Sega's got the capital for that anymore

 

Though under the Wii model of constant profitability, it could work. But they would still need a great helluva lot of R&D funding that they probably don't have

Sega never had the kind of capital MS and Sony are dropping now.

Sega doesn't have a huge following either.

We're just dormed... :( ... we are with many... at least 5 of us are on the site.. 5!

We shall not be destroyed! We shall asexaully multiply like our parents did to make us Sega Fans/Fanboys/Fangirls!?!!



Former something....

This would be sweet, however, I think the only way it would be plausible is if a 2nd company were to get in a deal with them that would give them financial support...although as somebody said, if they make it like the Wii...they could potentially become wealthy enough to continue making more consoles :D



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

It's more probable to SEGA to go bankrupt than launching a new home console.



It would be great, but I think Apple will enter the market before Sega returns to it.

"If I have the opportunity in the future I want to be involved again with hardware making," he said. "It would be ideal if I could become some sort of advisor working with the platform makers in future.

"I think if I can work really well with the platform makers then it's good for everyone, because I can then come up with totally new games."

Can someone get me the email addresses of Iwata, Kaz and who ever runs MGS?



It would flop miserably just like the original dreamcast.



I don't want anybody from Sega working on a Dreamcast unless it's Hideki Kamiya and Platinum Games.  I don't want Sega tarnishing the Dreamcast name by tainting it with Sega juice.



I'd love to see Sega rejoin the industry with a new platform but I doubt that is even possible at this point. However I would love to see Naka working directly with Nintendo on their future platforms, then seeing Sega developing new fresh games for Nintendo's new platforms.

It would essentially be like Nintendo and Sega merging all the great content both have to offer both on the hardware and software sides!

 You would have to be prepared to drop billions of dollars to get a console to market and expect  not to see any profit at least to the next gen  and thats if you have been succesful in making head way, Today we have 3 makers with the Wii having enough of a differential from theHD twins to make it work even then Sony has lost billions this gen and  got to  a stage that some people reported that the Playstation including  the PS1 and PS2 's profits had been eaten up by the PS3 and there best case scenario( IE ten years or more of ps3 on the market and all remaining years profitable) is for the PS3 having enough turaround for the PS1/2 &3 combined to be back in the black in some small way and thats not something to smile about.

So i think three is tight and next gen the console makers will factor this three way battle into there strategy far more than last gen. Since there last foray into the market there Ips don't resonate like they once did and there competion software wise  have grown plus  i don't really think 3rd partys are going to split development resources even further .
