Yeah thats true but they still dont have the resources
to develop and release another console at the moment
but rereleasing the Dreamcast wouldnt be half as
costly so i'd say thats the only feasible option we
are ever likely to see of Sega getting back into the
hardware business. There have been rumours about Sega
releasing a new console every few months since the DC
was ditched lol and the latest rumours wont be the
last i bet. What is true is that Segas Development
Houses are very keen to see a new Sega console, maybe
not now but sometime in the future but that decision
is not up to them.

Yeah Zoot, the rumours i remember was that Microsoft
was going to incorporate Dreamcast Technology inside
the Xbox so it could play Dreamcast games as well as
Xbox games. There were also rumours that the Xbox
would play PC games also....

Its funny Piguma should say that about rereleasing the
DC thou because just the other day i was reading in a
UK Multiformat Games Mag about the Dreamcast gaining
popularity again especially with the release of titles
such as Border Down and King Of Fighters 2002. They
were even suggesting that maybe a rereleae wouldnt be
such a bad idea. Sega are even doing a new Multi
Format version of Puyo Puyo and yes, they are even
doing a version for the Dreamcast....

I picked up a replacement Dreamcast about 4 weeks ago
from my local game shop and they had about 40 PreOwned
Dreamcasts in stock and when i went in the other day
they had completely sold out, they told me that lately
there had been a massive demand for Dreamcasts and
Dreamcast games so maybe a rerelease, or a limited
rerelease even, wouldnt be such a bad idea for Sega
afterall or even some other 3rd Party Company. There
obviously seems to be a demand for it still. They
would have to release it for a very low price like say
50pounds new, you can pick up a new Gamecube for
70pounds so they obviously couldnt sell it for as much
or more than that. If that did happen i doubt they'd
even bother with the Online aspect at all, i think
they'd probably see it as too costly and in that case
would probably release it without a Modem to keep the
cost low. Thats just my opinion.
