The Sega Blazengi was planned to be Sega's next gaming console after the DreamCast. Work on the prototype began in 2000. Due to the falling sales of the DreamCast, development was halted on the Blazengi and was canceled the same day that Sega stopped production of the DreamCast, January 31, 2001. No games were produced for the Blazengi, but a few tech demos were made to take advantage of the 128 MB of video memory, utilizing its advanced ray tracing and antriscopic filtering technology. The graphics card allowed for up to 720p HD resolution. The CPU inside the prototype ran at 1.0 Ghz. The console was intended to have DVD and CD support, as well as wireless controllers, built from abandoned 'Samba De Amigo' technology. Examination of the back revealed that it was also configured for internet access and contained 2 USB ports. In addition to this, it had a 10 GB hdd for save data, and storing music - much akin to Microsoft's X-Box. Sadly, it never got past the first prototype stage, as the idea was scrapped due to lack of funding and sufficient commitment within the company.
