A Saturn would be quite feasible despite the tricky hardware and lower interest (outside of Japan) than the Dreamcast.

But the Dreamcast would be a headache because of the larger file sizes of the games and the controller. A Dreamcast Classic would be at least $100, and it's not too crazy to think of Sega charging $150 or more for it. Yeah, the file sizes tend to be a lot smaller than the PS2 and Xbox. But there are still plenty of games that are hundreds of megabytes, some even a gigabyte or more. Even if they could probably use 32 GB or under, that's a lot more than the tiny memory needed for the NES, SNES, and Genesis/Mega Drive.



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 161 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million)

PS5: 122 million (was 105 million, then 115 million) Xbox Series X/S: 38 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million. then 48 million. then 40 million)

Switch 2: 120 million (was 116 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)

NAND has come down in price significantly since the SNES/NES launched.

They just won't be able to use high-grade SLC chips.

I want both, if Skies of Arcadia is on the Dreamcast mini I want that to come out first, otherwise I'll take the Saturn first.

It's hilarious they also listed a Mega Drive 3 as an option on the poll. They really do love milking that one.

Anyways, a Dreamcast mini would be very welcome.
