I don't believe it. I love the Dreamcast, I really do (the only SEGA console I have) but I don't think they can have success in the console business now unfortunately.

It won't happen. They simply can't afford it. I said in a thread on TNL that I was glad Naka wasn't to be the new president of Sega, now I find my feelings entirely justified.

I second that, just so long as it doesn't kill them...

all the article says boiled down is that Yuji Naka wants there to be a consol and may be pushing for it.

Here's the substansive part.
"
Anyway, we asked Naka-san if he missed making games for a proprietary SEGA platform. His response comes as some of the biggest news in recent gaming history: "I miss this very much. Back then SEGA was a little more idolised. When SEGA is ready to go with it's own proprietary hardware platform, I will really, definitely want to work on it." We were amazed, both at the revelation, and the fact that the Japanese press officer, officiously monitoring proceedings and having already vetoed a question about a possible merger, let the question slip. We pressed on, asking whether this might happen. Again, Naka-san was candid in his amazing answer: "In order to realise this, I am working really hard."

I just don't think they have the money to do this now.

As a comment... it's sort of MY dream to release a console, but it would be a really cheap console based around old-fashioned games... I'd try and market it on nostalgia value, having "classic style games"... I'd try to snap up a bunch of old arcade licenses and port games I think should have come out for home systems to it. Of course, this is just a dream, you know? ^_^

Erm... all it really says is that Naka liked it better when Sega made its own consoles. I think Spong.com made a big statement out of nothing.

Probably a misquote, or just some wishfull thinking from Yuji Naka. As much as I hate to say it, Sega would be really foolish if they released a new hardware platform right now.

They neither have the cash to do it, nor have they addressed the problems that led to the Saturn failure in the US or the Dreamcast failure...

Hmmm... A new Sega console would mean hope for all who don't believe in the power of money... Because Sega would earn more money being a third party, that's for sure.

However, since I usually buy Nintendo systems, it's good for me if they remain third party, because that way I'll have Sega games without having to buy a Sega console. Selfish? Yeah, of course.

This is a load of horse manure. Yuji Naka is just being wishful, this is not a formal announcement or informal announcement or even a hint that Sega is developing a console. Get a grip people. This is just Yuji Naka being wishful. Geeze, talk about blowing things out of proportion. The interviewer thinks he's discovered some great piece of info, but there really isn't anything here. This is like the whole wine tasting game that some US game sites claimed Yu Suzuki was developing- it was just a mistranslation. Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeze. You guys are ticking me off. THERE IS NOTHING HERE. Quit being spoony bards and get off the hot dog comet (trying to emulate Whitesword and Juan.)

Even if Sega had the money to get back into the console game, it would be a bad move because (a) no one trusts a sega console anymore and (b) there is already 3 big consoles, the marketplace cannot support a 4th one. I don't think Sega is that dumb to jump back in the pool.

I may be the odd one out here but I don't want this to be true. Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft (not counting any newcomers) are going to have new consoles next generation and I'm already missing out on software I want as it is since I can't afford to buy every company's system. If Sega decides to make one too, that just stretches the games even thinner since all of Sega's games would be exclusive to that system.

Not that I believe this though. Sega is being kept afloat by it's arcade devision right now so I don't think they have the money to R&D a powerful home machine and then promote and support it.

Yeah,ditto. They closed shop on both Saturn and the Dreamcast. Which would still have a lot going for them,if not for bad business moves.

I love my DC,too. And I love Sega,too. A lot! But they shouldn't bother to make another console,unless they bother to keep the system past a 2 year life span.

So Sega will stay being a third party.
I believe in the power of money, and I havn't much hope that it'll change.
