I'd rather SEGA spend their money developing great games than developing great consoles doomed to fail.
Me too, I would love to see a new Sega console but they have not got the $ to back it up (which is one of the reason the Dreamcast
).
As for Sega becoming 2nd party, I would not like that, off course I want to see more Sega games on the Game Cube but I want it because they sell better on this console, not because of some deal & that coves Sony / Micro$oft as well.
I also got a lot of faith in Visual Concepts, they can make the sports game that can outsell EA Sports, it would be great to see they games back on the Game Cube as well.
As you can see, I am a bit of a Sega fan boy
