The latest buzz from Japan on the Dreamcast.
These are unconfirmed but the following tidbits are the latest from staffers in some of
the more popular Japanese video game publications that NCS conducts business with.
| Sega may miss the November 20 window and delay
ths debut of the Dreamcast until early December. The main problem appears to be whether or
not to bundle / integrate the modem with the Dreamcast console. |
| Despite what has been rumored
and reported elsewhere, Sega has not put a solid price on the Dreamcast. There are ranges
being touted by trading houses that range anywhere from Y25,000 to Y30,000. None are
commited to any prices at this point in the game however. |
| There may be shortages in the first shipment of
Dreamcast consoles. Demand is high in Japan and distribution companies are being told,
rather bluntly, by Sega that any export of the Dreamcast will be frowned upon. |
