Vision Exclusive: Sega will next year launch a portable media player boasting enough functionality to threaten Sony's Playstation Portable.

  

It looks Meh, but we'll see.

This is from http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/10/03/sega_vision/

Seems real (yet completely retarted (something Sega would do) to me)

How would that thing, which doesn't appear to have any storage addition possibilities, good control options, or really anything else appealing at that small of a package (and who knows what battery would be like), possibly threaten the PSP o.0

Before the Wii came out, when the first images of the Wiimote were released. Everyone said it was going to be terrible, it turns out they were wrong.

Well before, when it was still called the "Revolution" or whatever.

This thing looks utterly ridiculous...and I'm a huge Sega supporter. Someone must have been on drugs when they thought up that device.

I think it's real. I just Googled it and it's talked about everywhere. I hope Sega decides to jump into the console market again... the Sega Vision proves that Sega is still interested in making hardware, and we could get a true gaming device from them in the future.

I'm still saying that Atari is developing a console. They brought in some well known and popular faces into the company, went private, and closed their doors to the public. They're working on something, my bet is that it's a console.

I couldn't care less about Sega.

As long as they can output another decade of appalling sonic games im sure it'll happen!   'Sonic and the Fabled Rings - in the chain that secure him firmly hovering above his grave'

Sounds pretty crazy to me, although im all for a new sega console, it looks like trash.

I don't like the design of it at all, and it it's as small as a credit card, that's not very fun to watch things on such a tiny screen.

Anyway, seems to be real. According to this article:

Sega's response was clear and concise - "The Sega Vision is a real device, a spokesperson said, "But it is not intended as a re-entry to the gaming hardware market or a rival to Sony or Nintendo's systems."

"Sega is committed to remaining a software third party in the videogames industry, but also has several non-games products in the market. The Vision is primarily an MP4 video player with some basic games functionality, and not a new handheld gaming machine.
Yeah, definitely not a PSP rival.

Wow, even if it is any good, the design is terrible. It looks like an old portable black and white TV.

Aesthetically pleasing it is not. 

I just can't imagine who the person is who's going to see this and go, "Finally!  Masters of successful hardware, Sega, have released the alpha-portable!"

PSP doesn't have the best reputation. Most people just mod it and stick like 1000 little games on it. But even saying this, I doubt that it will compete much. Good luck Sega.

This doesn't make any sense.

It seems as though its primary draw is to "Watch TV on the go" with its "Built in TV tuner." How is it going to pick up over-the-air TV broadcasts when, after Feb. 2009, no TV s

The video was taken down.

Besides, Sega isn't ready for hardware yet. They still need to fix their software development.

Oh get off your high-horse you idiot. So the Wii isn't your cup of tea? Fair enough. I'm sick of it getting bashed for the sake of bashing something.

It's popular, get over it. You should be thrilled gaming has lots it's old stereotype and get on with it. More games means more games.
