> Sega plans to sell through and market the Dreamcast console and its games
at retail for the next year. To help accelerate Sega's morph from
a hardware+software to a software company, they've announced a new MSRP
of $99.95 for Dreamcast. The new price point becomes effective on
February 4, 2001 throughout the United States and Canada ($149 CND).
EBWorld is also selling the recently released Dreamcast
Smash Pack for only $119.99 (online). In addition, Sega of America
will be undergoing a company restructuring (again?) as they transform into
a third party publisher.
> Sounds to me like Sega plans to support current and future Uberconsole
owners for the next year. It remains to be seen whether current third
party projects get "the can" (I hope not). What will happen to Shenmue
II? I hope we learn that Sega of America will release it here...
