This thing is making the rounds on all the newsites. Today it seems to be becoming a hotly debated subject. Much of it revolving around basically the same discussion we had here: Is this for real? Or is this just another internet hoax?
As many of pointed out, this seems like there's more to it this time around. But as many of the Sega fans are pointing out: This wouldn't be the first time we've had the wool pulled over our eyes regarding a new Sega system (anyone remember the Ring Edge-based console patents Sega filed a few years back that never turned into anything?).
What's more interesting, is I've even heard people point out Zach Morris as possibly being a part of this. While his name was never officially mentioned, people are pointing to the fact that a lot of the same behaviors are being exhibited by one of the team members. If you don't know, Zach Morris is a guy that has perpetuated more than one online rumor of a Dreamcast 2 over the years.
Like I said before, I'm cautiously optimistic about this. I'd rather hope a new console can come out, than give up on the idea as soon as I see it. But all this debate and speculation around the gaming world will at least hopefully open Sega's eyes to the fact that they still have console fans out there that would pay for something new.
