They did it for a reason.

There is no way to just repatent it when nothing really set it apart from the rest.

Did you read the article? It says that the original filing is still active, and that no action was necessary.

I read a few years ago about a similar topic (might of been on planetdreamcast, but cannot remember exactly where) where there was an arcade machine that was running the dream cast hardware for its games.

After getting butthurt by Sony's PSone (yes, the PSone), does Sega really want an encore?

Stick to being the dumb third-party whore that you are, Sega.

I see someone is lazy and/or in denial and wants to live in a dream world.

http://www.gamegrep.com/news/6343-sega_ ... _2_rumour/

http://blog.wired.com/games/2007/12/seg ... s-dre.html

"An application to trademark "Dreamcast" sparked rumors and hopes that Sega was considering resurrecting the platform, but the company has come forward to say they have no intention of doing so.

Sega of America's PR chief Charlie Scibetta told GameDaily that Sega is quite happy being "platform agnostic" and "has no plans to get back into the console business."

Scibetta further explained that Sega's strategy of abandoning hardware to concentrate on software has worked well for the company thus far, elevating them to "#6 in terms of our market share by units among third-party publishers."

Sad, but not really unexpected. Sega has everything to lose and nothing to gain by reentering the hardware market at this point."

Wow, second console all the way to number 6 in third parties. Was the world just too stupid to not buy Dreamcasts?

Thank you for the links! All I was trying to say is this is the web; don't waste our time by saying "read the article" when you can link it. If it were a question of knowledge, sure, just google it, but if you're making a reference please provide the reference.

Uh I guess that goes for everyone on the internet. :)

I really hope that there will be a new Sega console sometime in the future.
