SEGA Making a New Console

[@OriginalMegamanX]

If sega got back into the console market, I'd be there day one in FULL SUPPORT so long as they supported physical game releases. Digital is fine on the side, but physical should NEVER be taken off of the table. For any console.

[@MarksOnMedia]

Unfortunately, that would never happen. Physical is dying. Stores just aren’t carrying physical anymore. And it’s not going to change.

[@timpieper5492]

Although Sega made numerous financial/marketing mistakes, they were able to develop groundbreaking consoles at a (mostly) realistically-achievable-for-average-consumers price. Honestly, even the 32X and Sega CD could've been successful if they had much more 3rd-party game support. But part of THAT problem was that their groundbreaking consoles were often difficult for outside developers to understand. Sega themselves knew how their consoles should work, but the lackluster US consumer base for Sega CD, 32X and Saturn gave 3rd parties little reason to learn those specific platforms. Dreamcast helped revive Sega's console reputation a bit, but the Sony juggernaut was ultimately too beastly to tame once PS2 came to town. Which is exactly why Sega SHOULDN'T bother trying to compete again in the console realm. Just make new retro-IP games and call it a day.

[@cheesychester]

There hasn't been a better time than now. I think there is definitely room in the console market for Sega, regardless of what naysayers say. Sega offered what Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft do not, an arcade experience at home. It's Sega's time to shine! 😀

[@Aintyourbuddy_guy]

[@MacUser2-il2cx]

A lot of Sega's older developers from back in the arcade days and console days were new to the scene, either just graduating high school or dropping out, usually just looking for a good job with decent pay. Some of them never even touched video games before. But they were young and full of vigor and fresh ideas. They were hard working. It's the same with indie devs. It's whoever has a slight interest in the creation of video games or who knows how to program them. A bunch of those programmers back then pulled double duty too, being graphic designers as well as composers who knew the hardware well enough to pull off insane tricks that outside devs never could. The only way to know that is to work for Sega directly. But now every new console is pretty much a PC so it shouldn't be all that different.

[@MarksOnMedia]

If Sega is different and stands out, that’s the only way it could make money.

I think Sega could do good if they returned. I still remember Skitchen, I wouldn't mind seeing a revised version of that game. Specially if they could keep good music with it. IF they did come back to it, they would need one hell of a launch, because I think most gamers would need proof of a future.

[@MarksOnMedia]

I think they could actually MAKE MONEY, but not COMPETE. There's a definite difference. They should stay in their lane, so to speak, and not get too big for their britches.

SEGA was releasing consoles on the Japanese market and taking forever to get those consoles to the US market. By the time they came out in the US, they were working on their next gen console, so the newly released console in the US only had a few months of life after it was released. This happened starting with the SegaCD and carried on until SEGA stopped making consoles.

@@aceassn716 One little tidbit you might be overlooking regarding the ps5. If we’re talking about this realistically it loses in the most embarrassing way possible. They keep churning out games that don’t make money and those games are one of the reasons why modern gaming sucks. Yeah ps5 is selling but to me nobody’s buying ps5s for the exclusives and most cannot tell a different from the last gen of games. If anything I think the console is underperforming and has a lackluster catalogue of games. Most of these games everyone was excited for have been bombs and consumers seem indignant about the only innovation to come out of this gen is unprofitable subscription services like gamepass and ps plus. Couple that with the problem the games are more expensive than ever and you got a ticking time bomb. Regarding sega themselves Im afraid they will only add to all this.

SEGA is like the Original Gangster when it comes to gaming hardware or not, fair enough they been out the hardware market for awhile however they didn’t just disappear they transitioned into a software company, whether or not they have a console or not they will hopefully still be around for many more years to come if they release new hardware I would be interested in seeing what they release in today’s generation maybe they could release something better.

Remake and created new characters from Sega genesis, Dreamcast and PS2 Sega games.? 5. Created shenmue 3 and Yakuza, virtua Fighter for One universe story adventure.? 6. Add all New characters for Virtua fighter 6 game like shenmue , shinobido, shinobido, nightshade, and Yakuza. ? 7. Created new game Sonic Golf? 8.Created new game Sonic RPG? 9. Created new game Shadow The Adventure with new story.? 10. Created new game Virtua fighter VS Dead or Alive.? 11. Created another new character for Sonic adventure 3 world. ? 12. Produced Full physical media blue ray games.? 13. Dreamcast 2 new console.? SEGA must listening to their fans, if they want to win and rise again from video game competition. But that's depend on SEGA,if they want to be creative or not.

[@user-em1ig7xo9d]

Sega is a big name to us 90s and 00s kids. Anyone that grew up with the Megadrive and Dreamcast and Sonic in its prime days has a lot of love for Sega, but I’m not sure the newer generations of gamers do, I’d bet the majority of these Fortnite kids don’t even know what Sega is… a new console can’t survive and compete solely on the retro nostalgia market. I’d absolutely love Sega to make a console but then I’m also sat here thinking I have a family to feed and not a whole lot of free time to play games like I did 20 years ago. I have a ps5 and a switch, the switch hasn’t been used since last summer, the ps5 plays fifa and occasionally madden, that’s about it… am I realistically going to spend a few £100 on a console I’ll probably not actually play hardly just because I miss the “Segaaa!” Intro and Sonic theme music from my childhood… no I’m not sadly, as much as I wish I would, I’d probably not buy it any time soon from its launch. Nintendo survives and dominates on it’s uniqueness and its Mario and Pokémon etc exclusivity and brand faces. Sega has sonic, I don’t know what else it still has, but sonic isn’t Mario, maybe back in the 90s he could rival mario, but now a console isn’t going to survive long if Sonic is it’s face game. Gaming is too driven by incomplete half ass releases and micro transactions now. We need something new to rescue this decaying scene. But it’ll never happen.

[@MarksOnMedia]

It could start off as nostalgia bait and then grow from there with some bigger current titles and indy games behind it. It also needs to stand out. I would suggest trying to be similar to the Nintendo Switch.

[@ashdallas8995]

I would imagine a compact home console, with at least the power of the basic PS4 and ideally nearly the power the future Switch2 (i.e. between 2 and 4 Tflops), using mid-size cartdridges like an EvercadeVS (with patchs, add-ons and backups that can be downloaded inside the cartridge), but of course with also an SSD drive for demateralized games. And I would call it the SEGA io (like the 1 and the 0 bit and like the moon of Jupiter...after the old Sega Saturn and Neptune)

[@MarksOnMedia]

After a lot of time of thinking about this, I honestly think Sega would do well releasing a sort of Nintendo Switch style system. Play on the go, but you can also plug it into a TV. So a launch with only a handful of titles at first to test to the water. Then, if it does well, expand and bring more indy titles in, maybe some bigger non-exclusive names. That kinda stuff.

[@Matrix803]

Normally I would disregard this video, because it's been obvious to me for about 15 years now that Sega is never going to want to rejoin the console market. But there are two things that might cast a slight glimmer of hope on this: 1) Sega's been seeing some pretty good success in recent years, with things like the two Sonic movies, Sonic Mania, Sonic Frontiers, Sonic Superstars, Sonic Prime, the Yakuza series, and they've just announced a slew of reboot games for several of their older IP's, which stirred up a lot of excitement with the Sega brand. Sega's actually even had some success with miniature hardware releases like the Genesis Mini, etc. I feel like overall they're a much more liked company now than they were 15/20 years ago. 2) Lately there's been talk of Microsoft exiting the console industry. If that were to happen, there'd be a void in the space. Sega could potentially reclaim that spot, especially if they went the angle of going full-in on supporting physical media (which is a HUGE concern today in the video game industry). But again, the problem is that Sega is never going to attempt any of this. I hate to burst everyone's bubble here, but this is really just a pipedream. Sega is perfectly happy with selling their games on all consoles for everyone to play, as well as PC gamers such as myself. The thing with companies is, they want to make money. Therefore, you would need to somehow convince Sega that a more expensive business move is better than the more profitable business move.

[@ikesours6558]

The change in physical media (which is really just specific to the West) opens up a market for those that prefer physical and/or retro. Sega is about to have a huge release year for numerous older and demanded IPs. That could be the water testing they need. Heck, I personally would love a full return to 16-bit. Just do something like the Genesis classic but new games.

Even if not Sega, someone (NOT the ripoff market on Amazon, for example, haha) could really carve out a unique rebirth for gaming.

One positive idea that I could think of is to collaborate directly with Microsoft to create their next-gen successor to the Xbox Series X and named the console the "Dream-X". Then market it as a true successor to the Dreamcast spirit with sexy sleek design developed by Xbox/SEGA. SEGA is to develop their own proprietary emulators for this console with Online Rollback capabilities. This means SEGA will officially bring all of their back catalogs from both their Arcade and legacy Console eras (from the Master System to Dreamcast) exclusive to this system and all games are now playable Online via The Xbox network. All games can be purchased individually or in bundles. This new Console will also provide gamers with next-gen/indie SEGA and Xbox Exclusive games that would rival games on the Playstation platform.

[@phbranding8530]

Other than covering the fact that Dreamcast failed, the article you reference is wholly inaccurate. The Dreamcast lineup was spectacular and their first party games were right on trend. They launched Visual Concepts which released all of the 2K sports games which were phenomenal, and they had 3rd Party AAA games from Capcom and Namco as well. They were smothered by Sony financially who locked away several 3rd parties such as EA, had huge a marketing budget, and were able to pack more hardware into the price point such as a DVD player and a high speed modem. Microsoft also came in with a ridiculous budget, and a serious team of hardware and software planning and product lifecycle development, which really just completely changed how the video game industry worked and Sega was just totally overwhelmed. Further, there was such a disconnect between SOA and SOJ that the company simply could not stick to a cohesive strategy which is also what happened in the 90s.

[@MarksOnMedia]

I wasn't deep into gaming news at that time, nor was I paying attention or old enough to care, so I'm unaware of a lot of that. I just have articles in retrospect to refer to. I've heard similar takes to this one being stated, so that's interesting to note.

Yeah, i believe they can start as a digital console, sega and atari. Then start making their old ip and come out with the CD or cartridge.

[@MarksOnMedia]

Agreed

[@justinmartin8543]

I think that a 4th Sega console would come around

[@MarksOnMedia]

Yes. I would honestly like something similar to the Switch from them.

[@ThisIsAVideoChannel1]

I would definitely buy a new Sega console. But I don't think it would be wise for them in my opinion. They would probably have to break off their partnerships with Microsoft, Playstation, and Nintendo and no longer release their games on those consoles. IP's like Sonic, Persona, and Yakuza would suffer in sales because of that. On the other hand, they could make a new console appealing by adding virtual consoles for Master System, Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast, and arcade cabinets, and creating new IP's specifically for the new console that take advantage of the hardware and maybe an 8 button controller. That way people would still want a new Sega console alongside their Xbox or Playstation, and Sega could still continue to release major IP's like Sonic on other consoles, with definitive versions on the Sega console. It could also help if they offered a more rewarding version of their own Game Pass with free online multiplayer and occasional free games.

[@MarksOnMedia]

Them pulling all their licenses from Nintendo, Xbox, and PlayStation and keeping them to themselves for their own console could either make or break them.

[@alienJIZ1990]

THPS 1 and 2 DC ports were the best though at the time by far

[@davidbernardino2040]

My first console was master system, then a Mega drive (genesis), Right now I still own 2 dreamcasts both with cd readers still working... Any top 4th gen cpu with a half decent gpu to this day can play almost anything and surely all off segas games probably, who cares about choosing between 120hz or 4k, who cares about having to pay to play online... I moved on to PC for a while now and theres no console at the moment thats gonna make me come back.... Except if it's from SEGA... Just give those sweet games at full hd and 60hz with great stories and something thats barely existent nowadays... Couch co-op! Whenever family is together I have to go get dreamcast and wii

[@MarksOnMedia]

That sounds awesome!

[@jodyjohnson265]

I really hope that Sega can buy the Ferrari license so we can get a new out Run game and I think it's about damn time that super hang on and hang on deserves a remaster too!

[@moganco]

10millions is not that bad especially if we look ar gc and wii U. Dreamcast lack of good marketing and third party games... but most of all Sega were already near the edge of extinction before dreamcast because of 32x, mega cd and all the useless project of sega USA. If they were focus on One console and with one team they should be here today. Sega, phantasy star, shenmue,sega rally 2, msr, soul calibur... they got all 3d games needed they just needed a DVD player and a good marketing. Like Nintendo with the switch, marketing was excellent

[@willpowerrazorblade6436]

What are you talking about they are here today!!

[@Darkmetamorphosis1]

sega could just rebrand the lenovo legion go and start releasing games on it, I am not sure how much they make releasing sonic games on other consoles

[@MarksOnMedia]

There are many possibilities. Ya never know.

[@lookabomba32]

In terms of game preservation, I can see Sega doing it. Considering how the big 3 are getting greedy and are deleting games off their stores, not to mention making said games unplayable even downloaded, I could see Sega come into the console business again. But they need to get out of Sammy Holdings here in North America and Nintendo. I don't think it will happen but if they dropped a bomb on us that they are back? And it's done right for gamers? I'm gonna be first in line.

[@MarksOnMedia]

We talked in a previous video about emulators and how gaming companies are basically forcing the hand of gamers to emulate. When you completely wipe the existence of your old titles off the face of the earth (as far as paid platforms) and a gamer REALLY WANTS TO PLAY IT, then what? They're just supposed to get over it? That's pretty unfair. To paraphrase Jurassic Park, the internet...uh...finds a way. But yes, SEGA could totally make a comeback as far as retro gaming or just a completely different style of console gaming. I don't see them "competing" with the "big 3," but they can be a viable alternative.

[@lookabomba32]

@@MarksOnMedia Agreed, but the people at Sega, if they do get back into the game again, have to get it right.

[@robmadrigal714]

As much as I want another Sega console idk how well it will sell but I thought after the Dreamcast they would throw in the towel for good. But let's see if they do decide to release a new console hope it sells well like the Genesis did back in the day.

You never know. They don’t necessarily have to “compete” to make money. Just be different.

[@flatcapman]

Saying RPGS didnt sell is a stupid statement because they made more then enough to cover the local costs. I don't think they will risk another console because it's too late and they have Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo to compete with. They wouldn't survive

[@awakenedsoul2638]

I see that it will not happen any time soon! A new console to compete against Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft will not appear on the market as early as SEGA fans anticipate it. A former company that was strong, famous, loved by many and was a house hold name should by now have learned their mistakes in their distant past! If SEGA plans to come back, I want them to comeback ONCE THE 8K GAMES BECOMES THE NORM become THE CHEAPEST 8K UHD BD-PLAYER, have 5 versions of the console to come out at once, one big console that have a 2 3.5 HDD, 2 2.5 HDD drive bays, 4 M.2 PCI-E Generation 6 slots and 8 USB Ports with top loader disc, one with top loader disc but only have 1 3.5 and 1 2.5 HDD drive bay and 2 M.2 Slots, a slim version that has a disc tray that comes out no 3.5 HDD drive bay only 1 2.5 HDD and 2 M.2 Slots, a mini version that is significantl smaller that have a disc drive slot that you push the BD Disc inside with 4 USB ports and 4 M.2 slots and a digital only version that have two versions of its size but no disc loader.

I agree. I honestly think that if SEGA does a paired-down version of the Switch for indy games, a couple big multi-platform titles, and their exclusives, they'd make a killing and be a good alternative to "the big 3."

As much as I want Sega to make a comeback, I think, based on history there's been room only for 3 major consoles. They might dislodge Microsoft but Sony and Nintendo are gonna be almost impossible to dethrone. Also, historically, Sega only had great success with the Mega Drive/Genesis. The Master System, Saturn, 32X, and Dreamcast got clobbered pretty badly. Of course times change and everyone running Sega these days are almost certainly different folks who have a different take on video games, so who knows. A Sega comeback will also create so much buzz in the video game industry, and if they play their cards right they just might win everyone's dollar.
