They should totally make a system that is backwards compatible with all their old 8, 16,and 32 bit games. You know they could do it. A lot of people say the Dreamcast was a miserable failure... but we all know that just wasn't the case.

All companies have down times. Sega will recover and move on.

yeah son.

in my opinion sega needs to regroup internally first... the Original sega team that created the dreamcast, the genesis, and all the games we all loved is dispersed in the gaming industry.... the new people that work at sega are probably making the original contributors sick to their stomache when they see the shit that is put out by them... I'm sure you all agree that its just not "SEGA" quality that I used to know and be so proud of. The bottomline is they need to get the dedicated people working for them again to make sure that if they ever did make new hardware, that it had the same "Heart and Soul, and TLC" that the previous SEGA systems had... right now sega is not "magical" to me anymore.. its boring.. and I really miss it.

I agree.  That's why I don't like playing the newest Sega games.  But everyone else seems to, so I doubt Sega is gonna be taking any more huge risks when they found out making endless Sonic games is like finding a money tree.

Maybe they should make House of the Dead 6 scrap the zombies and use SEGA staff. Sega have paid the price for pioneering the industry now their trying to ride the back seat, With the collapse of the arcade industry and stepping out of the console market what do they expect. They need to downsize to a small unique group ,  eventually they will end up as a smalltime 3rd party manufactuer or just 3 old Japanese guys making homebrew in their bedroom on a refurbed Amiga.

They need to scrap all the centimental Sonic shit and carry on making gold like VO:OT im sure they could do a wiimote workaround for that but then everything they seem to be bringing out is remakes and new spins on the same old shit what we need is something thats Fresh introduces a new concept and screams the SEGA goodness we remember.

On the subject of a new system if they made one it should be a portable home system like a psp with a dockstation that has HDD, controller ports and video outs loads of internal storage so you can flash your games to it for on the go imagine that a full blown system that has a pull out portable version
