The Sega Vision is real, apparently

As you all know, just yesterday we reported on a rumour which suggested that Sega would be making a portable media device (PMP), and needless to say we were more than a little sceptical about it.
It had a very dodgy video, it was announced exculsively on a random tech site (when TGS is just around the corner), and the supposed size of the device sounds ridiculously small - so small that surely no one would want to use it. But according to rpgsite.net it is real!
Rpgsite contacted Sega America last night and were given this response:
“The Sega Vision is a real device, a spokesperson said, “But it is not intended as a re-entry to the gaming hardware market or a rival to Sony or Nintendo’s systems.”
Rumour: Sega to release new handheld?

We are always hearing rumours and random reports suggesting that Sega is planning to move back into the hardware business, but this is one which seems to have more credence than most.
However, while we have a trailer and some pictures which (apparently) show off the device, we are still treating it as a rumour, until we have heard from Sega on the matter. Annoyingly the news broke just after the Sega Europe offices closed shop for the weekend.
According to the website, Register Hardware, who first broke the story, Sega is set to release the new handheld dubbed the ”Sega Vision,” early 2009.
More details and speculation after the break.Â
