I havent heard anything about it. But since theres no place for it maby it could go in the "All other topics" section. It would be cool if they did though. But i htink they mainly just make games now for other consols.

honestly I too have heard rumors of a new Sega console. But it wont be during this next gen. It will probably be in the next gen after this new one. maybe the sametime as playstation 4. It'll be great seeing sega back in the console ring again against sony, microsoft, nintendo, and the supposedly envision. Man...the console war is going to get pretty crowded. What next? is motorola going to make a console.
Peace Out!

I hate to burst any bubbles.I love sega and genesis brought me so many memories but It's not going to happen peeps.They filed for bankrupty with dreamcast and there game line up hasn't done well on the market.
It's to bad I wish another sega would come out but they don't have the cash.Look at atari for a great example.

Way the go Sega! some people hate them some people love them, and Im one who definately loves them.
Soon, yes very soon sega will enter the console ring once again, but first the handheld market. I hope this hedgehog those good, although I dont expect it to outsell Psp and nintendo DS.
Dreamcast 2 is coming! (in my dreams it is)
Peace Out!

LOL good one. To be honest i dont think saga should even try to go back into hardware (handheld or console) the market is owned by the current big three saga at this point just wouldn't have the support.
What's worse is that they'de have to stop releasing on the other consoles and if they do that they're dead.
On the hand held side sony is having a hard enough time think what would happen to saga.
I love saga ok and i'm looking forward to playing the classic on the wii and new games like full auto 2 but not on a saga console

Yeah i see what you mean if they did make a system it would probably wouldent compare up to the ps3 or 360. As well if they did make a system they would have to stop making games for other systems like sony (kind of what xyqo said) . Its like sony making games for microsoft not going to happen.

Well heres the source of the link.
Quote: It is on line of Tokyo and thanks to a source very close to the direction of the group that us information came:
I'm not saying they are lieing but I would like to see a better source.It would be great but as xyqo said it's a joke.They would get smashed and loose lots of money.However there is the wow factor alot of people remember sega and would support such a device but I'm afraid it still wouldn't be a match for nintendo and sony.

That's right ty. I would much prefer a better source
But hey I probably wouldn't beleive it if it came from saga itself.
I would think it's some consept that they would later scap because it wouldn't be too expensive for them.

If it were to come from sega itself I would immediately think that it's just a ploy to get stock investor's interested.LOL
I had a gamegear and I must say I was one of the best handheld I ever had.At the time the gameboy was vertical and gamegear was horizontal so it felt better in the hands.It had more power than game boy and was in vivid color.Which for the time was impressive.

I hated the gamegear I had one to and batteries ran out after about 15 minutes of usage.

regardless of how they do making a new console I would still personaly buy one. And yes the shock value too of having sega make a come back. But as you guys said, they are definately going to have to stop releasing games for other platforms for it to work, for example: If Capcom suddenly announced they were going to make a console (which is never going to happen) then obiously resident evil may become an exclusive series to it.
ahhh, I remember the good old days when Sega and nintendo would go at it and then sony came in with the PSX. But today its now microsoft, nintendo, and sony going at it. But just like nintendo, Sega is strictly a gaming company unlike sony and microsoft. so itd be great having sega back.
Peace Out!

The game gear was nice a bit too ahead of portable battery technology of it's time for it's own good though.
If saga want to impress investors all they would have to say is: "Ok everyone we're ready to start making good games again".
It pains me to see one of my favorite characters relegated to a half-assed game like sonic riders.
oh btw I think we should ask a Mod to move this to a another section.

@beeftaco I played mine mostly with the adapter.I don't remember how long the batteries lasted but your right the whole point of a handheld is to be portable.psp had similar problems but you could get the extended battery pack for longer play.
@t4spartan you make a great point with the cross platform games.That's one more reason sega wouldn't do it.They make games for other consoles now but hey look on the bright side at least they still make games at all after filing bankruptcy.

I love the Sega Nomad (portable Genesis). If you can find one, hold onto it.
As for new sega hardware....hahah LOL omg that would be a bad idea! Why? Because the President of Sega (back in days of Dreamcast) was so hard-headed about how to move the company. Everyone was telling him do this/don't do that but he never listened to them. One story I remember, a top engineer quit the company a few weeks before they stopped making the newer (non-piratable game copy) version. I think that was the sports edition. Anyway, the engineer said in a well-known Japanese business paper that he told Sega president that the games could be copied. They needed another 2-3 mos to work out a way to copy protect the disks. He did not listen. He actually said "Our fans will support us".
LMFAO!
Yup, the fans gave him the answer. And it was "we luvz teh free self-boot DC games. Tanks....suckers!"

Yeah well saga made alot of bad choices in their latter years as a hardware co.
I remember that when DC came ouot the still had like 3 other platforms being supported in some markets. That was too expensive for them

The new system's codename is "craptascular failure". It reflect the company's forward-looking thinking in respect to the financial market.
