12th of june if Google Translator is correct:
6 month 12 day = 6月12日

The title needs to be "Sega going to announce Sega Spectrum on June 12th, 2013, possibly a new console."
That would get people jumping to this thread.
But yeah I really...REALLY, doubt it's a new console, maybe another arcade machine.
Heres whats believed to be the actual specs of the Sega Spectrum Tablet console:

The whole thing feels like a giant hoax, tbqh.Clearly a joke spec list. 1080i. :lol:
Could the CMYK colours in the logo have some significance? It'd be pretty silly to have picked them for no reason. But what could they mean?

Crazy Taxi 3 was an XBOX gameCrazy Taxi 3 launch title would make a new Sega system a day one buy.
Like the taito boards? That'd actually be pretty good overseas. The service on the taito boards is pretty good from the bits I pick up. It sounds pretty much like you download the title you want onto the board for trial and if it sells keep it after the trial by paying for it or a subscription or something. Means you buy one machine and have access to a huge library on it without changing boards. Course this is all secondhand from me though so its probably got more ins and outs than that on the taito board setup. Seemed like how it was described to me though.
Anyhow if thats what Sega Spectrum is it'd be cool in my eyes.
Also Sega isn't doing badly financially, but its not amazing enough to go for a console bid in my eyes. Keep your expectations in check Gaf. They had some impressive numbers during the THQ bankruptcy, but they still aren't big enough to go back into consoles from what I see.
Crazy Taxi 3 was an XBOX game
yep.
Is this before people knew Bleach existed?If this is real forget Sony & Microsoft. Sega + Nintendo next gen, I'm gonna live in the early 90s forever. Do you guys think Nirvana's second album can possibly live up to their first?

This is all a joke, right? There aren't people that actually think Sega is making a console, are there?
Oh come on, backwards compatible with GD-ROM? Yeah right...
Maybe, but almost no CD drives support GD-ROMs... I guess a custom drive might be able to though. But you can't put a Dreamcast disc in a computer and expect it to be able to read it.GD-ROM was just a cd format that could hold 1,000MB instead of 750MB. I don't think it would be very hard to support.
That was possible because the Dreamcast was CD (as in, audio CD) compatible, and people got in through an oversight in the CD section of the code. And it really wasn't one of the reasons why the Dreamcast died, with those sales they were doomed anyway given their financial situation... it just hurt Sega a bit.One of the reasons the Dreamcast died was because of how easy it was to rip the games to cd and pirate them

Clive Sinclair and SEGA, what a fucking pair.
Next gen just got won.
There's no way anyone seriously thinks this could be a console right? You are all seriously deluding yourselves...SEGA has said time after time that they see digital as their future for success, and boxed games have been cut to a minimum. SEGA absolutely does not have the financial resources to launch a new console without a 100% chance of bankruptcy...
Still...I'd buy it if they did. I never thought the industry would feel the same without a SEGA console, but honestly, by 2002 it seemed like most gamers I knew were pretty much passed it.

If you don't believe me compare it to the real SEGA logo, the spacing is different, sadly.Although it never would've been a new console, the image is fake.
The SEGA logo isn't right, and this goes beyond colour.

I do see some differences between the logo on this slide and the official logo, especially in the curves of the S.
What I don't get is why didn't the person faking this image simply use a high-resolution logo from Google image search, thus eliminating any discrepancies between the logo on the fake picture and the real thing? It makes no sense to redraw the logo. Is there any other way the logo could have ended up with these little mistakes?
Not saying you're not right (though being a SEGA fan, I hope you're not), it just seems odd...
Edit: and because I have way too much free time, here's a comparison between the official logo (on top) and the logo on the slide (on the bottom). The differences are subtle, but plenty enough to tell this isn't the official logo.
Kudos to Xun for noticing it first.
Not sure if serious.... but I could totally see this as a real possibility. Microsoft will never get anywhere in the Japanese market... but if the console is branded as a Sega console...
We got it!
*high five*
I am so ready to purchase Sega hardware it's not even funny.
