the thing is, japan has lost much of their power in the industry, they are but a fraction of what the US + europe offer in sales. and i think that if sega organized themself back onto one console, as in that is the only place to find sega games, japan would have to open their doors to it. and actually i was hearing that ninja gaiden was selling suprisingly decently in japan; it’s no FF but i believe it was in the top 5 for some weeks. and i believe PDO sold decently over there as well… could be wrong.
there’s no harm in speculation i don’t think anyone here believes any of this will actually happen. it may be sophomoric, but we are interested in sega’s plans and how can we figure something out if we don’t try to figure it out? i suppose we could wait the week and a half left before e3… but what would we do in the mean time? i suppose we could all go outside and do something constructive like find cures for disease or raise a barn. but where’s the fun in that? well i suppose receiving the nobel peace prize and having a barn of our own would have its upsides. but what would those upsides be? well the nobel peace prize comes with a hefty cash award and we could use that to get a bunch of drugs and invite people to a rave we would hold in our barn. that’s the dumbest thing i’ve heard all week! well what do you want to do, just sit around and talk about meaningless stuff that we have no influence over? better than having a nobel peace rave! you’re being a jerk. whatever man, i’m out of here and i’m taking the minifridge. over my dead body-- hurk! if that’s how you want it. a knife, a knife in my heart! holy crap what did you do to him!? oh ah… he was showing off his gymnastic moves then he fell on a knife! i’ll call an ambulance-- hurk! not today, sucka! hey… he didn’t really fall on that knife did he? no i stabbed him the same way i stabbed you-- hurk! and the same way i stabbed you-- hurk! think you’re so funny-- hurk! remember me-- hurk! woops, didn’t mean to stab you i was going for the other guy-- hurk! hurk! hurk! hurk! hurk! hurk-- hurk! hurk!

But seriously, though. Why would Sega go through all the trouble of dismantling its hardware division, not rebuild it, then try to announce a new console after MS has taken over as the solid #2 spot?
Methatherium: What I really meant was that people across the internet, even when faced with hard proof that something is not going to happen, they continue to say, “It’s gonna happen! It’s gonna happen!” Just frustrating at times
abadd, i’ll agree there are many who seem to make the transition from something being wishful thinking to it being an actual occurence. i blame square. so do you have any idea what sega is planning? even if you won’t tell us what it is?
i just figured it out… it’s so unexpected… nobody would expect it… except me… just accept that i am the exception to expect this… i could go on but i’ll stop.

side note: i thought kelly and sab should have been secret characters in PDO they have meteor crashes for the glide attack and sab would be like heavy wing and kelly would be like base wing, but then she could change to use the drivegun and be like glide wing
I hope it will be something really big that will affect all of the Sega fans as opposed to this being about something silly (to me atleast) like, for example, mobile phone gaming or whatever… (Sega is the one that’s making that mobile phone mmorpg btw, correct? That sounded neat for a mobile phone game…)
Anyway, I can hardly wait for E3 now (^^ if just for the new lineup of games that are supposed to be announced ^^)
