News \ Sega to launch PSP beater in 2009?

The PSP could soon meet it's match when Sega releases their Portable Media Player known as the Sega Vision.

It’ll work as a videogames machine, in addition to playing films. The unit will feature an integrated camera for capturing still images and video. A built-in TV tuner will provide yet another form of entertainment.



Sega has announced that this will launch in the UK at some point early next year but some PMPs/Sega Visions are already available to pick up in Arcade machines.

i'm just trying to imagine the signal you would get if the used DVB .

most portable tv tuners use DVB because of the minimum power consumption .

but uses the worst reciever -_- .

What does it'll works as a videogame machine mean? Because I mean even calculators have games on them so it may not be any competition at all...

wow seems cool, i highly doubt it will match psp, its more of like a media center/phone thingy without the phone, its games are only "mini java games" so rather its competing with mp4 players and stuff

For people who believe this is fake some contacted Sega representatives in the US and this was the response.

"The Sega Vision is a real device", a spokesperson said, "But it is not intended as a re-entry to the gaming hardware market or a rival to Sony or Nintendo's systems."

"Sega is committed to remaining a software third party in the videogames industry, but also has several non-games products in the market. The Vision is primarily an MP4 video player with some basic games functionality, and not a new handheld gaming machine."

Sega will probably develop some Sonic titles and probably a few good RPGs on their own for it which could get a few people to buy them.

Depending on their price I might pick one up.
