Sega Japan has returned to console gaming, although not in a way anyone might have imagined, with its new Toylet. Bring an entirely new paradigm of gaming interaction, a pressure sensor is located in inside a the hull of public urinals which measures the pressure of a stream of urine aimed at the sensor. Located above the urinal is a color display loaded with minigames that are controlled by the user.

SEGA!!!
I remember my step mum showing me an article about some place (can\'t remember where) that installed urinals that had an image of a fly embedded in them randomly, to improve aim.
I couldn\'t help feeling insulted by the article, and yet at the same time, found it to be a great idea. ;)
A waste of cash and resources IMO. Time and money Sega could have invested in a new system.
Well, actually, I get the impression that an outside entity must have funded the development of this (because why would Sega, who has no presence in the plumbing industry, do this otherwise?--or so I think, anyway). If that\'s the case, then it\'s income rather than a waste of cash. \"You want to pay us to do what??? I don\'t know if that--wait, how many zeros are in that number again?!\"
Honestly, though, if Sega tried to develop a new console now, I think that might be a waste of cash. I don\'t believe the Sega of today could competitively support a console (though they\'d still be able to do it better than the current Atari or Coleco), and it would also mean throwing away a decade of building relationships with the current first parties.
The logical individual in me knows that it\'s just not a good idea for Sega to get back in the console business. But the fanboy in me wants nothing more than for Sega to show why the Dreamcast is one of the most beloved systems of all time.
I openly admit that I am a Sega fanboy, and will gladly stand in a line for however long it took to buy a new system from them. I may bash Nintendo for losing their way IMO, but I remain impartial for the most part with the big 3. I only prefer Sony\'s handhelds over Nintendo\'s now.
But I would turn into a raging fanboy of the highest nature if Sega ever came back!
