In weekend edition of London Financial Times there is a detailed story about SEGA and the new DreamCast system. Article says this is a do or die situation for SEGA. Only a handful of titles vs over 3,000 for PlayStation. Things look bleak at SEGA. It is down the tubes they go unless this machine is successful. However, article also says PlayStation selling much less in last year than in previous year, due to its very old technology. Article says it is a piece of junk compared o DreamCast but SONY has all the software titles, thus making it hard for DreamCast to get going. What is really odd is that SONY will have a very expensive high end machine (PS2) and a very deficient low end machine (PS1). What about something in between, at the technical level of DreamCast but at a price point less than 250 bucks? Seems to me SONY is asking for trouble here as it would not take too many titles on DreamCast to completely decimate PS1 future sails. Many people won't pay for PS2 so SONY could really get stuck into a high end niche and lose the mainstream. This would definitely hurt LSI in the future I think.
