Sega recently announced that it plans to provide its software to multiple platforms, including wireless devices, PDAs, set-top boxes, and PCs. In fact, it plans to provide a Dreamcast chip to PC manufacturers that will allow Dreamcast ports on that platform. However, the announcement sparked off the long-standing rumors that Sega is planning to develop its games for competing console platforms, such as the Microsoft Xbox. At its Executive Games Summit Sega of America's director of corporate communications, Charles Bellfield, briefly addressed those rumors.
"I am not aware of any development teams making content for other platforms," said Bellfied, when asked if Sega would bring its games to competing consoles.
Belfield further stressed that Sega is 100 percent committed to the Dreamcast and its technology will serve as Sega's hardware base going forward. However, he did stress that the Dreamcast is an ever-evolving platform and that "it won't be shipping as it is in two years." Unfortunately, he didn't go into further detail, but that raises questions about the production of the so-called Dreamcast 2. GameSpot will continue to follow these developments and will bring you further details.
