Comments on: The Digital Home Video: Go back to hardware, Sega

Sega should go back to the console business and forget about software. And least that's what Don Reisinger thinks in his latest video.

What happened to the video tour of your new office you talked about on Monday?

I do not think that Sega should rejoin the gaming fray as a hardware maker as there is too much competition from the Wii, the XBOX360, the PS3, PCs, the DS, and the PSP. I would think that trying to launch a new machine would be financially devastating to any new contender not already firmly established. Do we really need another box in our entertainment centers...personally, I am all out of empty ports. By the way, I was really hoping to see the new office set-up. Cheers and thanks for the shows.

I agree but Sega blew it, offering up their main IP, Sonic to every competitor game console. It would have made since for them to keep Sonic to one console like Xbox, but no.

The Sega we all know is Sega of America, the Sega that we don't know that's really controlling the strings of Sega is, its Japanese headquarters which is the reason Sega failed.
