Nobody except SEGA knows what this announcement is going to be, but they're stressing that it's huge news. There's wide speculation that it'll be a new console or possibly Shenmue 3.
I'd be surprised if it was either of those. Suzuki-san said in an interview not long ago that there won't be another Shenmue for the forseeable future, and a new console? I just don't see it happening.
What do you guys think?

Well if it is a new console, there are gonna be a LOT of happy boomers out there, as new Sega console = new sonic game straight away!
*Goes mad with anticipation and runs into a doorframe*
But a new Shenmue, there is the possibility.

A new console would rule, but with Sega working with Nintendo's Triforce, this seems VERY unlikely. Shenmue 3 wouldn't be an announcement though. Sonic or NiGHTS would be an announcement.
Perhaps it is a new console...

Perhaps... The Retrogrinder?
Perhaps this announcement could mean... Sega is... Y'know... Being bought out by the Sammy Corporation after 3 months of fighting...

if its a console that wouldn't be good because there last 3 have failed (yes three game gear, saturn, dreamcast, 4 if you include 32x)
hey maybe the news is that they wills stop making cruddy characters/plots/gameplay in all future sonic games

What they ought to do is make a handheld Mega Drive. That would be good...... Imagine being able to play Sonic 2/S3&K wherever you went....

Imagine being able to play Sonic 2/S3&K wherever you went.... they did. it was called the nomad. it bombed ;D i hope its a new console... but then again, it could be that SEGA is being bought out by the [censored]s Sammy... and sad as this is, a new console or game wouldn't warrent this amount of fanfare about it being announced  |

The Saturn was superior to the Playstation in everything and the Dreamcast was the first nex-gen console to be released. |

can't say i've ever heard of sammy. however, I haven't been an avid console gamer for a while so.. meh.. could be sonic adventure 3, but then if sega are following their recent trend, it's gonna be terrible. (sorry, but heroes is my least fave sonic game.  ) |

*blinks* I thought Sammy just made pachinko machines. *shrugs* I've heard this new console rumour too, that it's gonna be a handheld. S'h'yeah right is all I can say.  |

Yes Sammy made those crummy "Pachinko" things. There was a great scare not long ago, involving Sammy trying to buy Sega. Never heard much after the sales deadline...

Could this be the Sonic versus Mario game I've long predicted? ;D

I couldn't begin to speculate, but I am curious. When do we hear for sure?

The eye-toy game has already been announced, at a press conference.

If you'd ever PLAYED Pachinko, you wouldn't think it was crummy.

Sammy did buy them out, but the fighting has continues in the company. But thinking baout it, I dont expect it to be SEGA being broke up.
**prays for new console**
**COOL!** E3 finishes on my birthday!! ;D **slapped for providing useless info**

If Sega are going to realease a new console, the it should be amongst the nex-gen line up (Xbox2, N5, PSX). Otherwise it might not sell well.

I have to agree with Andy, with PS2, XBox and GC it would be financial suicide to release a new console at the moment.

Plus its not going to be too long before the nex-gen line-up comes out. Only one more year or so.
