Sega ready to dump Dreamcast?

Sega is considering a strategic reform to return the company to profit.The reform will be based on the previously announced management plan,(October 2000).

Sega is planning to reform the worldwide production, sales and distribution system for Dreamcast. Although sales of Dreamcast will continue, Sega will be focussing on the software business. We are preparing a very solid Dreamcast software line-up with more than 100 titles (including third parties) to be released in the coming year.

As we have previously announced, Sega is in negotiation regarding the supply of our software to other gaming units including, Playstation2 and Game Boy Advance. As for our multi platform strategy, we are now aggressively progressing the use of the Dreamcast architecture in Set Top Boxes and other home electronics devices.

Further details will be announced as soon as they are available.
