Sega's Cunning Plan...

Dear Future Gamer

Re: Electronics Boutique opening stores at midnight on October 13 to sell Dreamcasts:

You can see what EB are thinking here... Man wakes up after a heavy night on the town... "Bloody 'ell, I don't remember buying that games console!" They'd be much more successful if they did it on a Saturday night though.

FG: Unfortunately, the chance of this happening would have been minimal, given that virtually all the consoles sold would have had to have been pre-ordered. Now, if Sega could have supplied more consoles (and if they had, they probably would have sold a lot more), a pleasantly chaotic evening could have been had by all...

Got an opinion or a question? Write to me at andy.smith@futurenet.co.uk...
