Are the Rumors of Dreamcast 2 true?

The Google searches say a Sega console in 2010, lets all call it Dreamcast 2.

Personally, I don't see why it shouldn't be a Xbox 360 with a BD-ROM built in and low-end DirectX 10 chip. The obsoleteness can make it affordable. People like to watch movies. Dreamcast didn't have a DVD-ROM, one of the marketing disadvantages. #2 was Dreamcast didn't have Madden or FIFA or MLB or Need for Speed or Black.

The intelligence has not failed, the Wii HD is going to have a 3.2 GHz Tri-core Broadway so knowing this, it'll be just like Wii HD. Remember, ArtX & MIPS went to Sega first for N64 hardware and they were actually going with a CD-ROM at the time! So much for brilliance on that would be grand slam.

Then again Dreamcast 2 can be a handheld.

I wish. I'd kill for another Dreamcast. :-\

I might actually pick up another Dreamcast, I got one atm which even has a gun with it but it can't run many games and stuff.

Think I'll pick one up simply for "Mission Confidential" and "Jet Grind Radio"-- Such top quality games.

Better than most "HD advanced" games nowadays tbh.

If this were true, I'd be all over it!

Click to expand...

JGR is getting either a new game or a HD upgrade for PSN and XBL if I'm not mistaken.

As far as I know, there willl not be a Dreamcast2. It would be cool to see, but I do not think there is enough room in the current console race for another system. We are oversaturated.

but throwing in a shameless plug... the store buys and sells dreamcast games. Just a heads up for everyone.

Too bad the Dreamcast didnt survive.

I think in the rough economy a risk like a new console (especially when the market is saturated as BV noted) would by financial suicide.

Plus, Sega is weak financially. They aren't going to go bankrupt but they just don't have the money to launch another console.
