Well with the likes of ThunderBlade, Hang On (bar Shenmue) and House of the Dead we never had perfect ports to the home , Crazy Taxi was just a simple clean fun game that one could play to kill a few mins at a time, that said it's Arcade Cab was nothing really special .House of the Dead III ect different story
I used to love to play Arcade games at the home not only because it mosts they were ace but also to perfect the moves ready to show off in the Arcade, I don't really want to show my moves on a mobile or console game when I can do that online already .
I'm not having a dig at SEGA so much, but people need a reason to go the Arcades and playing games they can either download free or have played to death on the consoles are reasons to want to go to a Arcade imo

JTO marks are harder to distinguish because they are too discrete. But the giveaway is the frequent descriptions of "LCD games and LCD portable screen" which alludes to it being some sort of VR machine of some sorts.
So SEGA certainly IS looking at the option of doing Arcade VR or something among those lines.
