Dreamcast returns?

erm, so maybe Sega is returning to hardware, even if just for a quickie retro thing in Japan. Via slashdot, which as usual walks the tightrope between insightful and idiotic...

There's not much more I can say on this (if it is indeed real) that hasn't been said here:

I'd think it almost make sense, with 1) people making both commercial and homebrew games for the system, 2) Xbox/Xbox 360 and PS2 all being rather unimpressive and Ps3 an unknown, 3) Xbox 360 possibly bombing in Japan, and 4) the popuarity of retro games... throw in the fact that part of the reason for this is that many people (like me) are tired of the incremental, unimpressive changes in next-gen graphics and also that said graphics are valued more by many developers over actual gameplay. And the fact that the DC is still better than any current system. I'd love to see a handheld version, especially since PSP isn't any better and there aren't any games for it. Like others, I could see the DC as something akin to the retro TV game market. Since Sega has been selling keychain replicas of their old consoles, their history isn't something they're shamed of. Ha, I might prefer to see a re-released Saturn, Mega Drive or something that played all 3. Hope springs eternal for the Sega fan, although hope is usually dashed by them in the end. Course, I hope Sega makes its old games available on 360 or Revolution anyway.
