SEGA AND MICROSOFT?
December 24, 1999

According to a recent rumor, Sega Enterprises' president, Irimajiri-san, confirmed the existence of the X-Box by saying that he was shown a demonstration of the system's capabilities.

At the current time, no information is known about the X-Box. Moreover, Microsoft continues to deny its existence, and Sega's ties to it, if any, have yet to be brought to light (of course, Sega wouldn't mention this anyway, at least not yet). However, it does bring to light a few interesting concerns.

We already know that the two companies have somewhat close ties in some respects, which is a given considering they are technology partners for the Dreamcast. Is something more going on than meets the eye? Are these two cooking up something more? Do Dreamcast owners have anything to worry about? Or is Sega just keeping an eye on the competition? If so, why were they the ones shown the system but Sony and Nintendo weren't?

Since this is all speculation, these questions can't be answered... yet. Only time will tell, but things may well get even more interesting in the near future.
