Some work up that someone did on what a next-gen Sega console would look like, thought a few folks around here would find this entertaining to ponder.

The Dreamcast never died

Re: "Dreamcast Revival"
It's a triangle...
The only benefit I see to that is it leaves some extra space for cables and the manual in the inevitably rectangular retail box.

Re: "Dreamcast Revival"
Why triangle?
Seems that it would just waste a lot of shelf space, I mean what can you do with the space you have leftover!. Making a thin little DC, or an undoubtably epic handheld would be great, but that design just seems pointless. If SEGA had any balls, they'd do something with the DC, hell competing with next gen consoles never put Nintendo off, and the DC is a lot more capable than the Wii - from what I've seen at least, bar a couple of Wii games, most of them look like they could be running on a Playstation 1.

Yeah, but at the same time think of how much more hardware they could stuff into that beast.Van-B wrote:Making a thin little DC, or an undoubtably epic handheld would be great, but that design just seems pointless.
