Premier League

Dear Future Gamer,

I think Sega's new console will go the same way as the Saturn because they've failed to win back people's confidence after the Saturn debacle. I paid £399 in July 1995 for a Saturn and was disappointed at the way Sega let the console die. It's now in the attic and in the meantime I shall continue to enjoy my PlayStation and N64 until Sony release PlayStation 2.

Sorry Sega - I think you make great games but your marketing looks way off the mark again. £12M to sponsor Arsenal FC? Just think of how that money could have been better spent. What do other readers think?

Keep up the good work.

FG: Like it or not, the Premiership is high profile and its audience is perfectly targeted when it comes to videogames. People who have satellite/cable TV or Premiership season tickets clearly have disposable income. What Sega have to do is convince the people who bought into PlayStation that the Dreamcast is a significant technological step forward - and that £199 is the right price to pay. With Dreamcast's online capabilities, it could do rather better than the soothsayers are suggesting. Let's just hope the games are good.
