Or, we could just buy the system that has the games we like. Who gives a shit about who made the hardware if it has a respectable library.
There is no point in Sega making a game console because they have none of the talent left to make 30-50+ exclusive games themselves for it. There is no point in hoping for Sega to return to what they were because we know thanks to interviews, such as with Yu Suzuki, that Sega, like Capcom and most other companies, won't make a new game anymore. They will only make games with marketing research to back it, that predicts the game will sell above and beyond the development cost. Hence sequels in familiar genres and franchises. There would be no point in putting these on a Sega made platform.
The options are on the table.Quote:

The old Sega is dead and the talent is gone. I wouldn't favor a new Sega platform over any other, unless it had games I want to play on it.
I don't want Sega to do it because it would obviously break them and developers would see almost no incentive. There's already Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Google, Apple, PC-Steam/Desura/Origin, and even Ouya to release games on. Console hardware doesn't matter anymore.

I think a lot of speculation is often generated by overly-dedicated fans who have a certain nostalgic anticipation of Sega to reenter the hardware scene and rekindle some long disputed or unresolved rivalry with Nintendo while usurping Sony and Microsoft. Like it or not, it's just not going to happen.
The landscape of the video game market has changed too much since 2001; Sega no longer has the personnel or means, monetarily, to develop a new console. Also, the home titles they have available to them isn't enough to support such an endeavor - many of which have already been leased out or many years forgotten.
Right down to it - It's too great of an investment and Sega is better off on the sidelines, after losing so much credibility and consumer trust, Sega has struggled too much just to stay relevant; and personally, I think this is the last generation for the home console.
However for the sake of conversation, rather than the string of one-shot complaining GKDAIR threads I've been noticing lately: Yes, I'd be totally psyched to see Sega launch a new console.

Oh, they aren't hacks, they are the epitome of what a corporation is just like Microsoft, Intel, Nvidia, Apple, etc. I recently learned the true definition of what a "not for profit" company is for and the only distinction between it and a corporation is that its main purpose is to benefit the community/industry/whatever it is in. I have been quite incorrect over the years in complaining that some game companies were solely focused on profits and not on creativity. A "good" corporation is solely focused on profits, a bad one that fails focuses on something else.Quote:

Sega would apply the same fucking business attitude that MS and Sony have, so you'd get DRM's and expensive DLC's, stupid online plans, etc.
just stick a Sega sticker on your xbox and lie to yourself, you won't notice the difference.
Fuck yeah Capitalism! Publicly traded corporations are required to put profits above all else and yet they have the same rights as a person. Not the type of guy you'd want to hang around.Quote:

Don't know about now but it was awesome when I went back in 2005.
You pay to get in but the retro arcade units are free to play the whole day!:cool:
Their assets are worth $32 billion and their net worth is $19 billion($10 billion of their recent $29 billion net worth has been deposited into something else).Quote:

Sony on the other hand, is weak financially, bleeding cash outside of PlayStation and getting pummeled in core Electronics markets. They can't afford this and CANNOT afford PS4 doing poorly, there's already talks to split SCEI from Sony Entertainment which would be diasterous for them. Another 2 years of losses and they'll be filing for bankruptcy.
Again where are you getting Sega's financial numbers from?Quote:

The only gain Sony posted is from selling expenditures and properties. This was the only way they could prevent a loss this quarterly.
Sony is mainly an Electronics brand. This market is being devoured by contenders like Samsung,LG,Toshiba and JVC. Sony is losing billions in the TV business. Although SCEI is the only division doing modestly, it is not bringing enough adequate profit and revenue like it was 10 years ago.
PS4 doing well would only clot the bleeding. In order to get back in healthy shape, Sony would have to turn things around in their core market. The split is being suggested by an investor who will deposit $1 billion into Sony, while this sounds good on paper, leaving the Electronics dept as stand alone especially not improving its business would result in more losses and more bleeding of money if its left in the shape that its in.
yes lets focus on sony
instead of the real big threats ie apple google and if they want to be valve
