Forums - Gaming - First SEGA Patents Controller, Now They Patent Memory Card.

I'd like to see a new Sega console, but I call "no way this is happening".

memory cards are old school



Sammy took most of everything good about Sega and flushed it down the toilet. It's too late now. The Sega that was ingenius during the Dreamcast days and the remainder of the 6th generation is mostly gone. They're basically now a publisher of other developers' work. It doesn't help that what made the DC so great, the easily to port NAOMI board games, are practically nonexistent now, taking that edge away. In fact, the demise of the arcade scene would hinder Sega greatly if they try to become a hardware maker again.

I don't see them making other hardware than nostalgically shaped controllers for current systems.

I just don't see how a Sega comeback should end well. The market has changed when Sony and MS entered the market, with their giant budgets. Remember, last gen almost broke Nintendo's neck.

Next problem: Traditionally Sega's audience is almost identical to the Sony/MS audience. But there's absolutely NO point in directly competiting against PS and Xbox with a conventional console. It's suicide (that's why Nintendo had to gamble with the Wii - and won). They would need a USP, some big feature to completely differentiate their system from all others.

Next problem: Their own IPs. Take their mascot from better days, Sonic... he is absolutely deranged. The rest isn't strong enough to drive a console's sales, even as exclusives.

... and of course Zelda (Wii) 

a new console in the console war.



From the looks of the images, it looks like many different controllers.

They are plotting........
