The dreamcast still exists, you can go get one right now! And with the VGA cable, it really doesn't look half bad on a modern TV. If your TV doesn't have VGA in, I have had good luck with even cheap VGA to HDMI adapters. Go on, play Crazy Taxi again with the good soundtrack. Play Episode 1 Racer. It's still awesome. Shenmue can still go to the arcade.
I have no idea what this means. They don't make hardware. Maybe they can keep an CD press still running for their own published games, but what about when the PS6 and Nextbox don't include optical drives? Do they start shipping read-only flash media?
we still value our physical culture. Rather than completely abandoning that, we are currently challenging ourselves to shift towards being able to think about and act on the important aspects of digital in parallel.
Yeah. They are challenging themselves to think about the shift.
It Sony doesn't make disks or the PSwhatever doesn't have a disk drive... Not much to think about.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Wouldn't be surprised to see a not to far off future where they obtain the rights to put all the old comics on a paid service while also making any new comics digital exclusive, thus disproving their alleged care for physical media.

I still remember plugging in my old school serial keyboard to the thing and playing typing of the dead. The two player is pretty awesome.

And games they licence, even when the devs want to continue working on them.

Or is it all posturing to get praised?

It means they will make a Dreamcast classic edition like Nintendo did with the NES

It's a good message, but just a message.

Sega doesn’t make physical media though……
Sony are stopping all PlayStation disc production. Sega can’t just make PlayStation discs.
