My ideal Sega sequal console would have the following:
 * Disc based consoles like all the major consoles are today.
 * Backwards compatable with Dreamcast and Sega Saturn is a must. Maybe Mega-CD as well. It be like "video game patriotism" and would bring some possitive light to Sega as a company. Not only that but while there are still Dreamcast and Saturn games on shelves in store, older consoles like Dreamcast and Sega Saturn are hard to come by, especially in mint condition, so it be nice if a new Sega console can play old sega games as well.
 * XBox 360 like controls (Given how similar the button layouts already are to Dreamcasts).
 * No mamby-pamby controllers like Wiimote+Nunchuk, WiiPad or Kinect. I just want to sit down with controller in hand and play the game, not do tricks or figure out which screen goes where.
 * Have specific mamby-pamby controllers if needed, just let them be secondary controllers than mandatory. The Wii U has a regular controller secondary to it's mandatory WiiPad and this is silly.
 * Cutting edge graphics would be nice, or very least XBox 360 or Wii U in comparison. It's about what you can do over what you have.
 * Console be fairly small and easy to clean or maintain, don't want a large machine taking up furniture space.
 * Games come with mobile apps to download.

That last mobile app idea of mine I came up with when I was thinking of modern alternatives for VMUs. For example if there will be a "Sonic Adventure 3" for this console, what if playing the game offers a download of "Chao Adventure 3" for your mobile OS. Console games offering unique mobile apps that allow data exchange between game and phone so you can still playing your games to a degree until you get home.
