Day Trader
Japanese brokerage house Nomura Securities Co, Ltd said on Tuesday that it would
start a new on-line equity trading service for Dreamcast console owners. Using the
Passport browser software, DC fans can use Nomura's brokerage to submit trade executions
though the internet. Service is expected to start on October 18 in Japan. Sega Enterprises
Ltd stock rose roughly 8% on the news. |

DC USA
Travails
North American Dreamcast consoles still appear to be highly allocated, with
even top tier retail chains currently sold out or facing shortages. These are the prime
retailers who rank high on the pecking order when it comes to first dibs on toys and
gaming paraphenalia. With the holiday season rushing up, Sega of America appear to be
fighting an uphill battle in supplying their popular console to everyone that wants one.
In any case, the company finds itself in the enviable position of a huge built-in market
demand for the Dreamcast. Every shipment of new units will be snapped up by pre-orders and
eager consumers anxious to try the next generation of console gaming. Should the
undersupply continue over the next couple of months, DC hoarding and the inevitable price
hikes may stoke peripheral retail valuations to outlandish levels. Elmo did it, Furby did
it and the DC may very well be this year's XMAS mania. |
