US and UK office denies shock re-entry into the console market is in the works.
SEGA has denied the Dreamcast 2 is in the works, saying "We like our current strategy and have no plans to change in the middle of this outstanding growth."
We brought you the news yesterday that SEGA Corporation had filed a new application to protect the trademark Dreamcast - sparking rumours that the Japanese publisher was planning on making a shock return to the console manufacturing market with the Dreamcast 2.
www.Trademork.com, which discovered the filing, suggested that the proof was in the detail of the application - which talks about a floor mat and flash memory cards - accessories the original Dreamcast supposedly didn't have.
However, Sega of America PR Director Charlie Scibetta told US website www.GameDaily.com that SEGA "has no plans to get back into the console business," adding, "We're very happy being a platform agnostic company and have moved up the ranks the past three years from #11, to #9, and now stand at #6 in terms of our market share by units among third-party publishers. We like our current strategy and have no plans to change in the middle of this outstanding growth."
And when contacted by VideoGamer.com this morning, SEGA UK reiterated the position, issuing a flat "denial" that a follow up to the much-loved SEGA console was in the works.
Sad news for sure, but did we really believe it was going to happen? Really?

It was kinda obvious it never was gonna happen. Still, after growing up on Sega consoles....sigh.
Miniviews:
Spoiler!
i was never really a huge sega fan but it would be awesome if sega did make a return (and maybe the new sonic games might get better)
They would deny it regardless of their plans. SEGA is still working hard to distance themselves from the Dreamcast (at least SOA is, SOE seems to be doing something completely different if Dreamcast-Scene is any indication).
If anyone is looking to buy, sell, trade games and support a developer directly at the same time, consider joining Goozex. Enjoy!
Remember when Microsoft denied rumor's that their would be a 360 with HDMI? Or Sony, when they said their wouldn't be a remodelled PSP? Or Nintendo, when they said their new console would not have a new control system? Are you catching on yet?
Yeah I still dont belive them, like the person above my post said showing all of these things that get denied but than in the future they announce there "denied" things. Anyways Sega didnt say anything about the floormats or anything at all for that matter about the whole thing. I think that they are making the Dreamcast 2 gut there not going to say anything for quite some time. Kinda like Microsoft did with the Elite, when peter moore was asked about what the Zypher (which is what the elite was called orignally) he denied it so yeah I dont believe them for a minuite.
Hmmm well maybe this rumour is true.
Sega has to do alot of unfinshed buisness like a third party wouldnt be silly to anounce new Dreamcast projects in these days.
In Jp the posibilties are more.
i think we all need to march up to thema dn really conince them and say 'hey, we fans really really think u should bring a new console out, as YOU can easily fit into the market as it is in now.'
