Comments on: Why Sega should release a new console

Don Reisinger thinks the only way to save Sega is with a new video game console. Is he right?

There is no way they will come back to make another console. How can anyone trust them no more. It would be Dreamcast 2?

Is it a analisys? How it come? Sega was and still great, but I think that this guy lost his mind... Who is buy something on this time. It so hard already to keep with one hardware... I think was to bad his comments and it is better just pass by... Sega need to bring somenthing that really makes the costumers attracted to it and innovated, they keep bring those sega graphics with games with no fisics, to arcade, this things it gone, why they don't make a real Out Run or a good Golden Axe multiplayer, a gorgeos Shinobi instead releasing Sega's Rally with no notion of game play or a minute loading in Sonic games with some RPG in the middle, they should workout like on old times that you could have a Sega Genises in home and have a fun with their games. Sega don't need a new console, Sega needs to be like old times, tittles that make people interted on them...

Hey, they filed a patent for a new controller?... Controllers are made for consoles, not arcade machines. Right?...

[davidc02]

They need to release good games, that's it. They don't need to invest millions and try SO HARD... As much as I'd love to see a console from Sega, I would much rather see a GOOD Sonic game, because there is not a single Sonic game that is at least half the fun as Sonic 2 was...

[elmagicochrisg]

The Sonic on DS is pretty good. One of the few really entertaining games on the platform...
