Pat, if you're a SEGA fan, I don't think you need to worry about the
above statement:-
unless Jesse has inside information (which he might - I have no idea)
then this is just a copy of a rumour which went around all the sega
internet sites about 3 months ago.
It all boils down to someone misinterpreting (or badly translating) a
press release from CSK (Sega's parent company) that mentioned some of
their future strategies (basically, they totally restructuted all of
their internal software groups (i.e. AM1, AM3, CS, etc..., and are
allowing them to develop for non Sega platforms if they desire - people
(mis)took this to mean there would be no future Sega hardware)).
To the best of my knowledge (and until someone can point me to a piece
of concrete proof) I'd take the above with a (very large) pinch of
salt.
[It doesn't mean they aren't going to be the losers in the X-Box/PS2
battle, but I don't think they'll be quitting the console hardware
market any time soon...]
