Though it hasn't made a console since the 2002 Dreamcast, SEGA is uniquely positioned to target a niche not covered by Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo.
Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's plans to increase every department's margins.
"The plan to move Xbox games to other platforms is codenamed "Latitude" internally, and I know there's debate and unease at Microsoft about whether or not this is a good idea. More upcoming Microsoft-owned games slated for PlayStation are already being developed. At least for now, they're potentially obvious games you'd most likely expect. And yes, while it's true Microsoft is a prolific publisher on PlayStation already, it has typically revolved around specific franchises like Minecraft. From what I've heard, Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's mandate to increase every department's margins.

Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware.
i think it will kill off the xbox brand. windows will be fine.
but there is and would be a chance that xbox might be killed off in the future. if they fail to make the money they put in. imo.

Forza and Starfield next?
In the words of Phil Spencer when he was talking about Nintendo last year
“It's just taking a long time for Microsoft to see that their future exists off of their own hardware"
The Arctis Nova family of headsets expands today with the introduction of the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 series and Nova 5 Companion App.
Epic Games is facing a $1.2 million fine by the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets over "unfair practices" in the Fortnite shop.
It might be cheaper to simply pay the fine. Fighting said fine could cost millions due to court and lawyer fees. Fortnite generates well over a 100 million in each month, so Epic has plenty of cash.
I'd fight back too. These are kinda meaningless reasons to fine someone like really for THAT. It's like they just wanted to make money or something.
I'd love to see this, but I don't see it happening. The best you could hope for is a system like Switch, because going after the high end consoles like PlayStation and Xbox put out wouldn't be financially successful for Sega.
Yeah I don’t think they have a lot first party wise to even justify it
Sonic is barely just getting on track, we’ll finally see with Superstars if it can keep the trend going after Mania.
However their other IPs are just gathering dust
If they revived all and I mean all of their old games with new instalments in complete success fashion then they could stand a chance but even then it’s a shot in the dark.
They don't even have the resources or enough output to justify their own console or handheld.
I've dreamed that for over 20 years. The arcade powerhouse to make a comeback.
But they have lost many developers who either left or passed away. I've even wanted some of their top games in VR that makes sense to be there.
It ain't happening.
I don't know why people still yearn for Sega to start making consoles again.They sucked at it outside of the Genesis. Everything after the Genesis was killed off prematurely in favor of another ill fated Sega branded device because SOJ & SOA kept sabotaging to the point where it damn near killed Sega and force them out of the console race after the Dreamcast. Yes CD, Saturn ,Dreamcast and even the 32X had some gems but they all failed.
Sega is the Yakuza, Persona and Sonic company these days. Its all they seem to care about. Fuck traditional Phantasy Star, Golden Axe, Shining Force, Shinobi or the Virtua line of games. Plus lets say they did come back they would have to make all future Sega games exclusive to its platform. Otherwise why buy new Sega hardware when all of its games are on multiple platforms already. Hardware needs exclusives to sell after all and as it stands Sega is ill equipped to properly utilize it vast amounts of IP. Also good luck with that when people have been used to Sega games being multiplat for over 20 years at this point.
