None of that will be available until 8 more days. I don't understand why everyone hates this

This isn't going to end well.

Scared this could be the Xboner killer?? Fear not, the Ouya claimed similar feats and delivered only a little fraction.
That and Xbox image has went up like foam after their last stunt (namely retrocompatibility).

I don't see this working very well with the actual situation of the gaming world. Sure thing many Sega fans would buy this in a heartbeat but I don't think would be enough to support the system.
But with the Nintendo NX soon™ hype and the fact that most people already have a PS4/Xbone/Wii U is very unlikely for non-fans to buy the thing.

And almost forgot about Steam machines that are the same thing apparently (a PC dressed as console).

The thing they don't have is the branding. If any of those had the name Sega on it. People would want it

 

[BORTZ]

Lol here comes the Ouya 2!

But seriously, I cant see this thing doing any good.

 

[T-hug]

They have literally nothing but an idea. They haven't even pitched SEGA lol
The whole thing is a joke: http://kotaku.com/no-sega-isnt-launching-a-dreamcast-2-1749342080

People aren't mindless sheep - and Sega isn't the marketing monster it used to be. If the product is garbage, no matter how many "big" names you slap on it, it won't sell. Especially considering they aren't selling the product, they're just asking for money to make it. If not even Sega themselves has enough trust in the concept to fund it, why should the public? Clearly they aren't committed to releasing the system, which means they probably won't support it as well as they could once it's out.
This thing is dead on arrival, I'm sorry to say.

It's so sad that people don't respect sega anymore

Issue #1 - Not produced by Sega.
Issue #2 - The controller layout is wrong.
Issue #3 - You just don't come up with Dreamcast 2 out of thin air. It has to be unique and gain the interest of customers in the right way.

 

[DinohScene]

Ohh Sega.
I prolly still won't get you sorry.

 

[BurningDesire]

We have 8 days guys. Let's see what happens. Gbatemp is so cruel towards sega

 

[Saiyan Lusitano]

People don't respect Sega and Sega doesn't respect its customers. lol

 

[BurningDesire]

People don't respect Sega and Sega doesn't respect its customers. lol

Sega isn't as beloved as you think. And my point that almost anyone already has a gaming machine still stands, not everyone is as dedicated to gaming as we are to think on buying more than one console or have money to do so.
As for myself, I'm good with a PS4 and Wii U combo. Only if the Sega machine offer something really good and exclusive and the price is right I could start thinking on buying one.

 

[Arecaidian Fox]

So... It's a mid- to lower high-end gaming PC. With SEGA's name and a Dreamcast 2 sticker slapped on it. How is this actually a console again? Because it really isn't, it's a PC.

I myself have a PS4 and Wii U combo. I am very happy with my choices

pshh.... nothing personnel.... kid...
Why do people do the *action* thing in non-RP forums? Not bashing you or anything, I genuinely don't understand.

It's essentially a Steam Machine with Sega's name on it. Nothing to write home about.
