Sega would be stupid to try and make a new console. Sticking to software was the best move they ever made. Especially with how aggressive MS and Sony have been with selling hardware at a loss.

The Dreamcast was awesome. I paid full price for that system and I still don't regret it. The best part about it at the time was all the Sega exclusives! I will never sell that console.

Regarding Nintendo going to software ala Sega: that would truly hurt the industry. I don't know how many of you guys are car guys, but in the late '90s, the Japanese companies were having a sports car war, and their respective cars were getting more and more expensive. The Toyota Supra, Mazda RX-7, Nissan 300ZX, and Mitsubishi 3000GT got so complicated and expensive that they were essentially competing with cars like BMWs. They literally priced themselves out of the market. After that came a period of time with no Japanese sports cars, which just recently changed with the advent of the 350Z.

Microsoft and Sony are doing the same thing. They are pushing so hard to one-up the other on system specs that they are making overpriced consoles. If Nintendo wasn't around, then there'd be no option to these ever-increasingly ridiculous prices. And then we'd have 1985 all over again.

Jordan Bisasky - You can't say they got a bad deal on selling the 2K franchises. It was becoming too much of a hassel. It was the same old story of great Sega made games, but this time they were more widely loved [being much more widley known as annual sports games], yet still were outsold by Madden. It was best that they sold them and began working more with western style simply with deals from NA developers making general video games, not only westernized sports.

I think they are giving it another try for a future console.... maybe for the next-next-gen.... they are building a good base of developers so .... who knows?

dreamcast was great, although i bought it when it crasheed leaving the best at budget prices, but don't dis dreamcast, i still believe dreamcast had better visuals overall compared to the ps2

Everyone who owned a DC remembers it more fondly than anyone will remember the PS2 (and I love my PS2...). There was just something special about the Dreamcast. It introduced tons of great ideas that were then used by others. Shen Mue, anyone? Groundbreaking! Earthshattering!

ahhh!... i though sega was FRIED!! LOL

Not another PSP game. At least make it a good one, okay?!

poor saga you will never make the dream cast 2 if you try to sell games on the psp thats system has been dead a long time the ds killed it maybe saga should just keep doing games for the ds and the next gen systems intil they make enuff money to go on there own again

GO SEGA! DREAMCAST 2 PLEEASSSEEEE!! XD

Sega seems to be getting their second wind lately...PSU kicked ass and got great reviews,Yakuza was an awesome game and here's more good news.Good to see that they could still dish out good games that don't rely completely on their old franchises to succeed...

Still a game for PSP?Probably a retro title...hopefully a new Shining Force Strategy RPG or something

Sega is still my favorite developer, even if it is just mostly for nostalgia purposes these days.

Cool, I can't wait to hear what games SEGA is making for the PSP.

i thought just like you fred_for_brains, i thought they got completely wiped out

good old Sega

O K

mm...deep fried...mmm U beat me to it.

i don't find it really great

Phoo! For a second there I thought that they meant something even WORSE had happened to SEGA after going out of the hard ware race way back. But I just read a couple of lines and everything was OK. Yay for me !

dreamcast was great, although i bought it when it crasheed leaving the best at budget prices, but don't dis dreamcast, i still believe dreamcast had better visuals overall compared to the ps2

Sega Games=Good Games ( well please dont consider about the Dreamcast,not worth it )

I also agree with PSdual_wielder. EA is getting scarier and scarier... They have such a huge share of the market that they care less and less about the quality of the games.
"Who cares if our games suck, they will soon be the only games left!!!" [insert evil mastermind demented laugh]

SoraTheExtreme:
Ooooh, Landstalker... I'd love to know how that's coming along, too. It was already great on the Genesis, which wasn't exactly the perfect system for 3D.

Sega (or a Sega-owned studio) developing for the PSP is gerat news. Sega have always delivered in terms of innovative gameplay.

What I especially like about them is how they adapt to specific consoles. They don't just develop one idea and then figure out how to make it fit on this or that system.
(Argh, I must resist slipping into nostalgic mode about the DC... must... resist...)

mm...deep fried...mmm

Um... Neat?

sounds fine to me

what is a PSP? is it somthing you eat?

I'm liking this news for the PSP.

I hope I can see plenty of new PSP titles.

Great news coming for PSP. Hopefully this trend will cotinue.

soem pretty big studios here

Good news for the PSP. First Capcom and now Sega gives the PSP some love.

Good job Sega, still making money

Sega loves PSP

sweet, more PSP games means me more happy

Yes. I love it when a plan comes together.

good for sega i think their one of the best gaming companies ever nest to nintendo and sony its just too bad they left the console game

Sega is a stupid company when it comes to business...Well, Sega of Japan that is. Sega of Japan only looks at things from the point of view of Japan...and they just don't make good decisions...they are very arrogant.

Sega makes some really stupid decisions. Maybe they shouldn't have sold off their 2K line for next to nothing if they wanted a western presence.

But Sega sealed their fate way back in the 90's. Oh well, let's hope Sonic on the 360/PS3 is good.

Anything that harmed or have any miniscule negative effects on EA is good news. Former designers from EA quitting them and making a new developer acquired by another publisher? Not any hard hit but good just because those guys left EA.

Hmph....

hmmm. useless info.

Don't ever come back with a console SEGA, just stick to what you do best... games!! And the more original IPs you make for the PSP the better!! Rock on!

I can't help but think maybe Nintendo should have done the same thing. I dont mean for the PSP, just games in general. Surely they cant afford to lose this time round.

The awaited return of SEGA? Hope so, I grew up with my MegaDrive and Sonic. (VegetaMaelstrom: I'm currently playing Shadow the Hedgehog and it rocks!!)

Pay attention to the signs. Nintendo making huge stride to become number one in gaming at home. Owning the handheld scene for a couple of generations. I think the time may be growing nigh for Nintendo's old dance partner to put its dancing shoes again and enter the home gaming fray. ANytime soon, probably not until the dust from the next few years home gaming war settles. But they are (Sega) strategically positioning themselves for a very bright future. Developer after developer, gaining momentum in the software sector, etc., etc. The future looks very interesting.

They will probably come up with some pretty sweet new IPs !

Hopefully ther aren't working on another Shadow the Hegdehog "game".

at first i thought deep fried meant they were in trouble

R2R was a Midway game, it was ported to PS2 while the DC was still alive.

I hope Sega continues making awesome software. It's good to see the company doing well (RIP Atari).

Wow, that's some good talent. Onwards, Sega!

You know it's possible that all of the Dreamcast and Sega games could be remade on the PSP, even sequels. I'd love to play Ready 2 Rumble again.
