BREAKING news, former video game industry heavyweight Sega announces it's re-entry in to the console market to head up against Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft. A spokesperson for the company this morning announced the project, codenamed Pluto, is set for a late 2010 release as a race to be the first of the next-gen systems.
COO for Sega's Western markets, Michael Hayes, denies the announcement but refuses to make any official comment only fueling further speculation. Facing financial trouble Sega bowed out of the console hardware race in January 2001 after dismal sales of their Dreamcast console, to focus on creating software for other platforms.
Sega has steadily grown since 2001, with a strong arcade division and growing software sales for home consoles. With strong financial backing Sega is set to become a household name once more.
