What Impact: Sega Edition
Dravenae:
I was just looking through Google for any other titles that I have missed for my Sega want list. At the moment I only collect for the Megadrive, though I am tempted to start collecting for the Dreamcast. Anyway, while I was searching I was thinking to myself, "why are Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo so content with providing their fan base with the bare minimum?" I initially thought maybe it's due to their lack of competition? If Sega released a new console that could rival the success of the Megadrive, maybe Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo would pick up their game? How would a new Sega console impact the market?
What do you guys think?
Now I understand fully that the chance of this happening is null to fuck all, but let's say it happened. After further contemplation, I'm pretty confident nothing would change in the market, because I think the current trend of the market is to release the bare minimum, for the least amount of expense, for the maximum amount of profit, rather than making the best game possible. I dont think a new Sega console would usher in a new mindset.
Anyways, what do you think?

My phone hates YouTube. I doubt it's a console announcement.

It's probably not a console. The video is just AlphaOmegaSin speculating on the Sega Spectrum and what it could be.
