Recently, The G.I.A. got to talk with Peter Moore. Peter Moore is the President of Sega of America. The G.I.A., along with Next Level Gaming, spoke with Mr. Moore concerning Sega's new position in the industury. They also spoke about the future of the Dreamcast. It's a really good read. Here are a couple snipits:

Peter Moore: We need to make sure we give everybody that's bought a Nintendo platform, a Sony platform, or a Microsoft platform a taste of what great gaming really is. And from our point of view, I think we're looking, as you've seen from our announcements, while we'll be premiering many titles on specific platforms, that these are not exclusive deals by any stretch of the imagination.

GIA: Is SegaNet going to continue in the future?--

PM: --Yes it is--

GIA: --on other platforms?

PM: I don't know about other platforms--I certainly think that that is a great possibility and I would hope that we're able to leverage all of our experience and expertise, not only with the back-end network, but also with the game development--of how to build code, network code, that is stable and robust and allows gamers to play at any bandwidth right now, you know, from a dialup perspective or into broadband. And I'm hopeful we'll be able to apply that to different platform holders. And certainly we're in conversation with all of our new friends about how we bring our experience to them, and they're all very eager to learn, as you might imagine.

NLG: So would it be safe to say that maybe Virtua Fighter 4 would end up on some of the other platforms as well?

PM: It could be ... you know, I can't talk about specific plans. But, one of the things that you need to take note of in our announcements is that the word "exclusive" is not used a lot.

[Peter Moore went on to say]...And we're already starting to see that, and you guys saw at E3, where, let's say, Smilebit might be leaning more towards Xbox because they like the PC-style architecture that hardware brings. Whereas Sonic Team may be leaning more towards GameCube.

But ultimately, our developers are smart enough to understand, that it's not so much what they like, but it's what the content--how it fits the demographic--and I think that, a year from now, we'll be looking very closely at what the demographics of each platform are, and what, you know, what they're bringing different to each gamer.

Sounds intresting. Does this mean the GameCube might be getting games like Virtua Fighter 4 and Jet Set Radio Future? And will SegaNet be in place on the other consoles? Seems like chances are good, but we'll have to wait for some official announcements to really find out.
