More Sega Response
by Steve Gibson, Jan 24, 2001 6:46am PSTFollowing up on the Sega stories from yesterday, Sega released a PR (Thanks Mick) which of course denied that they will be dropping the Dreamcast but confirm an anticipated "structural reformation". They also confirm that they are in negotiations with Sony and Nintendo for PS2 and Gameboy Advance titles.

If Sega succeeds in getting DC into set-top boxes (plus a low-cost PC card), this stealth strategy of abandoning the expensive console market could be bad for the competition. As the Amiga and OS 2 illustrate, it's not who has the best tech that wins. It's who has the greatest market penetration of their tech.
Hee hee -- I'd love to see Microsoft lose half a billion on Xbox while Sega snatches the set-top market and Sony and Nintendo clean up in the console biz. Eat it, Redmond! :)

Yes indeed, I see them making great headway into the cheap hotels of America where you can already play SNES and n64 games. Look out! Here comes the DC!
DC is fading fast, no developer is going to want to develop for it anymore.
