Personally, I would consider buying it. The Dreamcast was a great system, but no 3rd party support and a rush to release it before the PS2 is what ultimately doomed it. I think that if those idiots at Sega don't make the same stupid mistakes that they made with the Saturn and the Dreamcast, like rushing development, that a new Sega system would be great. On 9/9/09, perhaps?
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
I enjoyed the heck out of my dreamcast, and i consider it a great system. as for its lack of 3rd party support, look at the wii, it has 3rd party support- thats makes crap games. dreamcast was just over powered by the supergiant sony. but yes i would buy a new sega console.
I would buy it. Most system launch successfully on the backs of the makers first party titles. Sega has no first party titles that are worth being played anymore. They have pretty much killed Sonic and that was their bread and butter.
I would have loved a Dreamcast 2. Back then, when SEGA didn't screw up everything. If I ever was a fanboy, then I was one back when I got my Dreamcast on Christmas Eve 1999. I will never forget the undescribable fun I had when I played the **** out of Sonic Adventure, Soul Calibur, Shen Mue, Marvel Vs. Capcom... those were THE days of my time as a gamer. I have so many fond memorys of playing games on that baby... It is a shame what SEGA has become. Sonic The Hedgehog isn't what he was anymore. Some people say Sonic sucked when he went 3D - I fell in love with it when Sonic Adventure was released. They screwed up when they realized that things like Project Berkley - insiders know what I am talking about - just suck money like hell. The success of the PS2 killed it and I won't argue there, Sony just had the better plan.
After the demise of the Dreamcast, SEGA became something like a little moneyhungry *****. Selling the rights of Jet Set Radio (one of the greatest games ever, imo), Sega GT and Shen Mue to Microsoft wasn't the worst thing. SEGA really took it in the *** when they milked the s*** out of stuff - Shadow The Hedgehog, Sonic Rush, Sonic Riders anyone? SEGA just stopped caring about quality and went the easy route, selling crap. I must be one of the biggest defenders of Sonic in 3D, but STH2006 was utter crap. The loading times, awkward controls, slow gameplay and the worst camera of all time made Sonic look like a turtle that has its feed stuck in his own ass.
I don't blame them for wanting money - hey, everybody wants to have more than they can spend - but they died for me when they realesed games way ahead of being finished. See GTA IV - it was f****in' expenisve, they had the balls to delay it, the critics love it and it sells like hotcakes. Thats how you do it. Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y. I would sell my grandmother for a true succesor of Jet Set Radio and my grandfather for ShenMue III, but only if SEGA went back to its roots, releasing high-class games that were fun not only for a few minutes, but forever. Sonic The Hedgehog 2006 made me cry - cry for learning that what I once had loved just died because of greed.
PS: Sorry for the rant, but I really startet loathing SEGA with a passion - I just hope someday I will enjoy one of their games again.
If anyone could compete with Nintendo on Innovation, it was Sega. Especially the controllers, they were boxes with buttons before Sega. And isn't an Xbox controller just a dreamcast controller with a 2nd analog stick and a couple extra buttons?
Even some of their scrapped ideas are popping up now. Motion Sensing (Air NiGHTS anyone?) Hard Drive (at the time, Zip was more efficient) A/V out on a portable.
If there was a DC2 to come out, I think it would be more like PS3/360 only more innovative. I could see them doing more with the screen on the controller concept, updated, color lcd screen... minigames on the go? on a controller? that'd be crazy.
No i would not buy the system. The reason why is because the dreamcast sucked really really. Bad graphics and no good games came out for it. the only game that was good was house of the dead. thats whats saved the systems ass for a while, other than that the system went down hill. Even the gameboy systems out beat it in sells and that's a shame. so no i would not buy a new sega system. Just stick with the nintendo wii :)
