Phyrox Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 How is this interesting? Sega will show us what games they will be releasing for consoles and on arcades... can't say that was unexpected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uxi Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Think he thought Sega was announcing another console of their own. I kinda wish they would. I always liked their stuff better than the Nintendo equivalents. Ah well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 hehe... not if you misread it... if you did, it would seem like Sega was coming out with another console. Something they said they would not to do again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoBe-Patt Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 oh great, here we go again. No matter what sega does, it's going to flop somehow. Unless they can pull off some sort of miracle gaming system, I don't see this being very successful. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

yellowlightman Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 There's no way Sega is getting back into the console businessm they're trying to streamline themselves into a profitable company and its obvious (to them and everyone else) making their own consoles hasn't worked well for them since the Genesis days. Also, the Magicbox is well known for crappy translations, so take anything they say with a big chunk of salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radd Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I think you misread it. I'm pretty certain they mean Sega's upcoming lineups for arcade and consoles, meaning the Gamecube, the XBox, and the PS2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're missing a fundamental ualifier. Making their own consoles hasn't worked well for them IN AMERICA since the Genesis days. The Master System was actually rather successul everywhere EXCEPT North America. The Saturn was stil neck and neck with the PS1 in Japan untill Sega killed it to focus their resources on the Dreamcast, which ALSO did amazingly well In Japan(Sega actually had to restart the assembly lines after buying back US Dreamcast consoles for resale in Japan due to incredibly high demand, and new games are STILL coming out today). The Genesis was unique in that Sega's US division knew what it was doing, and was given enough room to do what needed to be done to sell it. Sega Japan was calling ALL the shots on the Saturn, and it suffered in America for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoneWolf Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 ...at the show Sega will present their latest console and arcade lineups. What he means is this: Sega will present their latest console games, as well as their arcade games. If this sentence had been structured like below (note the comma), then we could say that Sega is making a new console (which Sega is not doing). I wish I remembered the exact grammatical terminology in this case, argh! ...Sega will present their latest console, and arcade lineups.

Black Valkyrie Posted October 29, 2003 Author Share Posted October 29, 2003 Sorry guys my mistake yup I thought it was a new console. During the 1`st year of the Dreamcast launch sega were hinting on their next system that was actually target it for 2005 but we all know what happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
