I think just a prebuilt PC would be pretty niche for the average person. I think they’d need to do something a little more innovative to compete. A cart slot could be one part that could help it’s appeal. But I think they’d need to give it a controller and make exclusives for it. And maybe include some new kind of feature that other systems don’t have. If it’s just a PC in a Sega case, unless it’s a great price, the only reason to really get one would be nostalgia.

It would be niche, but it would be relatively low investment and low risk. Going full console with exclusives is extremely high investment and thus high risk. They would have to sell enough consoles via those exclusives to make up for what they would make selling the game cross platform, which seems very unlikely. As a publisher, this would also severely hurt relationships with current clients. These are all reasons why they got out of the console game and pivoted to being a game publisher back in the day. I don’t see them making that mistake twice.

I totally agree, I’m just speaking hypothetically. I don’t see much point in them getting back into hardware unless they went big. Most likely, they will just stick to making games unfortunately.
