The amount of misinformation floating around about Sega these days is amazing. First people report that Nintendo and Sega are teaming up and now this. Let me set the story straight: A few months ago at a press conference Sega if Japan's president Isao Okawa made a statement vaguely claiming that Sega would be moving out of the hardware business. When asked about this, Sega of America's Peter Moore stated that it was a misunderstanding and that Sega indeed plans to continue making hardware. The rumors of Dreamcast being Sega's final machine died down. Now, in lieu of Sega's financial situation, they have issued a statement saying that they will "diversify" and close up their unprofitable business (i.e. arcades). I've read the press release that is cited in the Yahoo story and at no point does it say that Sega will make games for Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft's system. This is simply a case of poor journalism and spin-doctoring. Go read the Sega's statement at SegaDojo.
