I've heard rumors about Square creating their own video game system about a year ago. Now a few days ago, I start to hear about these rumors again, from my customers. Has anyone else heard about this new console? Do you think Square will actually do this and do it right?

I wouldn't rely on the second one. I actually wouldn't rely on both of them but yeah... they do say there might be a console coming.

One thing I've learned from giant gaming corporations over the years, be it software or hardware, is that they are prone to ANYTHING be it sensible or not.

That said, I wouldn't buy one. They're better off making games.

And that's what we'll be saying about SEGA if they release a new console. Chances of sucess "None - None."

Don't forget about the "FFVII-IX PS2 remakes" that were published in PSM magazine.

Maybe it use holo-cubes, or something for all those CGI sequences.

Seriously though, I belive it when I see it. :/

But Sony had a viable format to put forward. They also had a lot of experience in both hardware and game fuckaroundingin, plus they had pockets as deep as Xkeeper's sensitive soul

Deep pockets is probably a good reason X-box is successful. You have to remember that it was bit of... selling slow at the start. Many thought it was doomed until it's price was dropped.

Last view: 1434 days 		It's the only reason it's still on the market, actually, Microsoft hasn't made a penny off the Xbox line yet. Instead, they're working on building their reputation in the console business, so they'll be able to make money further down the line. Unless you have a couple billions to throw out, there's no way you'd be able to keep going until the money starts rolling in.

Dreamcast had a bunch of interesting games an titles, as well as internet features and online gaming (brand fucking new at the time), and it still tanked, even with Phantasy Star Online and quite many others drawing players up until the very end.

Just becuase you have good ideas and experience doesn't mean shit. Again, see Sony and their bright ideas this time around.

Remember that money issue I brought up, o Deep and Sensitive one?

Plus, Sony was already a mainstream brand name. Sega, ultimately, not so much for the general consumer.
