Title: What if: Sega made a new console?
Post by: Mystic Monkey on January 09, 2022, 01:35:10 pm
I'm not saying whenever it's a good or bad business move whenever they will or not. Purely speculative and imaginitive on what if Sega made a brand new console after Dreamcast, or if you come up with a ficitonal Sega console what would it be called?

For example, to go with the theme of planet codenames (https://segaretro.org/Planet_codenames), I would call Sega's new console the "Sega Nibiru", named after the Nibiru cataclysm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nibiru_cataclysm). I imagine such a console would be more of a gaming PC console than a proper console, kind of like VALVe's Steam Machine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_Machine_(hardware_platform)). The console can have it's own digital distribution service as well as promote other services that Sega do business with such as Steam and... well I dunno what other services Sega are assosiated with.

As for what the console will look like, I dunno.

Dreamcast wasn't using planet codename again,
so I think I wouldn't use it again.

Considering "The Eye" is their new logo now,
I would use some word that has connection with it.
SEGA VISIO or SEGA HORUS may be?

Ooooh I like that idea. Especially the idea of using a different series of codenames such as Egyptian gods or constellations.
