I grew up playing Sega Genesis and loved playing many of their games but they just didn't last in the console race. Some have told me that they were ahead of their time with the Sega Dreamcast. What if they decided to surprise everyone and announce that they were working on new console and their characters would be exclusive to Sega? Do you think they could pull it off? What about a handheld system?

Well first off you used the H word in your options. Some people might find it to be a bad word. If you can take that out that would be nice. I personally don't care but someone else might get offended. I don't think Sega will ever make another console but if they do I will be all over it man! I am not a fan of new games but if it would be on a Sega console I would play it no matter how bad it was. 

slimzimkin :
That would be awesome! Except Sega hasn't made a console ever since the 32X, they were also supposed to make something called the Sega Neptune but that was scrapped as well....

no.
they have very few noteworthy exclusives.
they have no experience with hardware.
they havent the funds to do it.
their shares would probably collapse.
it would destroy them.

If they actually made another console that would be totally amazing .. So many people would get it. I love sega consoles and I would really love if they brought another one out.

Yeah, no... Mostly because they're doing perfectly fine as a third-party group. If they made a new system, it'd ruin all relations, all their popular games would only be released through their system (which alone would cause them to lose quite a lot of money), and they'd have next to no third-party support. It'd fail pretty much only because of ruined relations.

thenumberone : "they have no experience with hardware"
Are you kidding me? SEGA was always pretty much one step ahead in the hardware department. They had the first 16-Bit system, they basically also created the first bit of add-on content with the lock-on system, created the first popularized CD-rom system, managed to even allow systems to lock-on to each other, and later released the first system to allow online connection. How does all that in any way say they have no experience with hardware?

(PS: I may have gotten some info wrong cause I just woke up)

If they released a Dreamcast 2, I would play that more than any other current gen system. The Dreamcast was probably my favorite system so a Dreamcast 2 would be something I'd be very interested in. Fans of Shenmue have been waiting for the 3rd Shenmue game to conclude the story for nearly 10 years, the Dreamcast 2 would be a great opportunity for it.

thenumberone :
They have a lot of experience with hardware.
They probably don't have the funds, you're correct there.

I doubt Sega would ever get back into the hardware industry but it's fun to talk about.

I don't think Sega should make another console. Their consoles weren't very good compared to the other companies and  if they tried to spend money on making a new console they'd probably get in a tight spot because not very many people would buy it.

PacmanandMariofan : I'm assuming you never played the Dreamcast? Otherwise you wouldn't have said that

Davideo7 : I had never heard of the Dreamcast until now. Is it still being sold? What is it like?

I think they could do it but only as a surprise and some help with Nintendo then H*** yeah I have faith in them it be awesome! And think they might be able to have games on other systems that be epic And I hope they will cuz Sega was my first system game and first favorite company  and I really liked how they did that little "Sega" thing. This has been a extremely short but hopeful post by Paper Luigi.

slimzimkin : Like Genisis said, do not use the H word in any of your threads.You could get banned for that if a global mod sees that.But just please try to stick to the games.

Davideo7 : Didn't you post a video regarding a Dreamcast 2 being announced a long time ago?

PacmanandMariofan : Woah, it's only the greatest system ever made. It was released in the United States in 1999 and discontinued in 2001. It lasted longer in other countries.

I'm sorry but what is the H word everyone keeps saying? My post has one H word and its Handheld... I don't understand if that word is bad because "hardcore gamers" say that handheld gamers are not real gamers or something like that. What did I do wrong?!?

slimzimkin : I will explain this to you the H word in this case is (put this in a calculator and turn it upside down) 4311 or h*ll and you put this in the options. This has been a post explaining things by Paper Luigi.

To all of my fellow Vizzed brethren:
      
      When I, with much haste, created this poll, I thought I had refrained from any mistakes of grammar and spelling. After several notifications and much review, I now see where the error lies; the mistake was in my soul.

      Yes, In a moment of diminishing valor I made the unforgiving mistake of spelling out the "H" word, the one that is opposite to "heaven".  Needless to say when this came to light I felt ashamed. I feel I have let all of you down, as well as my family, friends, and just as important, myself. The sting of this blow to my character fills my heart with despair.

      But this much I can promise to all of you: this failure on my behalf will not be in vain. I will learn from this disaster and you can mark my words when I say that I will regain your trust! I will not stop until my honor is restored and all of you, my fellow game warriors, can rest easy and know that we've put this mess behind us.

MegaRevolution1 :
was.
do you really think they have retained all that. they cut everything they could because the console war left them financially crippled. as things currently stand, they dont have that experience anymore. esoecially considering that what staff do have knowledge of it, wont have worked on it for many years.

nintendo used to have love hotels. as things currently stand, they
have no experience in hotels. 


Davideo7 :
as stated above.

Apparently there was a system supposed to be shown at E3 this year, but then Sega decided not to show it.

I think it's about time we see a new Sega console being sold, it's been like 12 years since we seen a Sega Console being sold.
