I haven't seen a discussion on here yet, so I thought I'd share it. People are interpreting it to be their new console, but uh...yeah, Sega will prob never do a console again. Either this is BS, or a new IP...I'm kinda hoping onIP cuz just the name sound cool ;)
I am the foot. I do not like you. You smother me with socks and shoes, then step on me thousands of times a day.

Honestly sounds like it could be something on the mobile side, some sort of service/ subscription, app etc to bring more classic games back to life. Maybe a Sega Virtual Console.

Yes, Sega will be revealing their new console after their partnership with Nintendo.

it cant be a new console, sega doesnt have enough money for the research, and the construction of a console, it would make them go bankrupt

Sega could possibly do a physical virtual console with all downloadable SEGA titles??

Not a new console. Sega talking to hardware partners would raise flags. It's probably game related, maybe some sort of online thing.

A wild possibility... Maybe Sega is helping Nintendo with their online, and its called Sega Spectrum?

Probably not BUT one can dream.

That would be awesome, some sort of Wii U tie in.  I think its more related to the arcade market, though.  Sega still talk to hardware partners regularly as it is, they just don't do home consoles.  They still have an arcade business.

I forgot about that. They do. However, I still think a leak would cone out if they were planning on coming back into the console business. But we'll see I guess!

Maybe it's their take on the Steam Box?

It could be a small cheapish Android console to rival Ouya, not that the Ouya needs a rival, that thing arrived belly up.

Call me an insane fool but this is probably either a system or a merger and heres why.

-If it was a game it wouldn't have got a weird looking logo and codename probably. Plus it has way too much suspense and mystery

-It probably ain't a social network because you have to remember what would it be for? No one can compete with Steam and a social app wouldn't make sense because what would they talk about that is so special? And why would they make something if there already is PSN or Xbox Live?

-A groundbreaking accessory wouldn't make sense because of the fact the current console giants already have theirs.

-A merger with Nintendo would seem plausible since they are making three new Sonic games for them alone. Plus their relations are pretty good.

-As for a new system perhaps they see MS and Sony shooting themselves in their feet(And yes it is likely Sony will have used game DRM) giving Sega a good chance to jump in. 

-A system is also possible due to the hip new trend of kickstarters. Plus remember how little money Nintendo had when they entered.

 

Let the tongue lashing of Rose begin :P

 

***Edit***

As for the derpy IOS rumors let me start off by saying Sega is a video game company. They would not drop their gaming priories to work on silly mobile OS based games exclusivley

Arcades died ages ago in the States.

That goes in hand with my merger theory.

Why would a game be so shrouded in mystery with such an odd title. And what would the fuss be about if it was just another game?

Maybe the game is another Nintendo exclusive, and they want it to be a big surprise? It's hard to answer until the game is announced.

But Spectrum maybe the games name. Who knows?

I am still hoping my wild guess is correct.
