PowerVR confirm an agreement to provide future hardware technology, pouring doubt over Atomiswave claims…

Imagination Technologies today announced an agreement with SEGA, for the development of next-generation arcade systems based on new high-end PowerVR graphics technology.

The agreement follows previous partnerships between the two firms, with PowerVR technology providing the basis for SEGA's last console entry the Dreamcast, alongside NAOMI and NAOMI2 arcade platforms. More importantly it pours doubt on recent comments from Sammy CEO and recently appointed SEGA President, Hajime Satomi, whose claims suggested that he wanted to see SEGA focus on its budget Atomiswave range of hardware.

Says Hiroshi Yagi, Corporate Officer in AM Product R&D Division, SEGA CORPORATION: â??The inherent benefits of PowerVR, which are well known to SEGA, will be utilized to deliver interactive experiences that will amaze gamers worldwide and continue SEGAâ??s legacy of innovation and excellence. SEGAâ??s new arcade platform, which will be at the forefront of Segaâ??s current board strategy across all video game genres, will deliver cutting edge gaming, exceeding any other videogame system in the world.â?

Says John Metcalfe, VP Business Development, Imagination Technologies: â??We are thrilled to once again be cooperating with SEGA at the forefront of video gaming. Together we have already proven our excellence in arcade games with the Naomi family, and it is safe to say that once again gamers will be looking eagerly to the arcades to see where the future of video gaming lies.â?

Virtua Fighter 5 is already being dubbed as the debut title for the new technology; we'll have more information soon.

Actually his comment is totally truthful, the ps3 can't run games worth a sugar , at least the ones ive seen anyway. Every game ive played on it has had a completely dodgy framerate and numerous hiccups, now im not trying to bash the people that like their ps3's but i certainely can't stand for crap like that.
