Believes iPhone is as Powerful as Dreamcast
Kotaku’s E3 interview with Sega of America president Simon Jeffery revealed several key components of the company’s future strategy.
Above all else, Mr. Jeffrey noted that Apple wanted Sega on board with its games for the App Store from day one, remarking on how successful Super Monkey Ball for the iPhone has been thus far.
But when Brian Crecente turned up the heat and asked whether a Sonic game was coming for the iPhone, Mr. Jeffery stumbled a bit and couldn’t say much of anything about it. Asked about whether other franchises were being considered, he dropped the revelation that the iPhone is about as powerful (if not more so) as the Dreamcast. It make Kotaku staff wonder whether Dreamcast games can be ported over, and…well, see the interview for yourself. (We can’t figure out how to embed it here…yet.)

Here’s wondering if a possible Sonic Adventure iPhone port is coming? If he stumbled on a possible Sonic game and mentioned it being a powerful as a Dreamcast…
That…PHONE is as powerful as the Dreamcast?
…I wonder if it’s powerful enough to handle a Phantasy Star Online installment. I mean, an MMO for your phone? That’d be awesome if they could pull it off! O__O
I’m all for any new installment/port of Phantasy Star Online again, I’m with you on that one.
