Sega Enterprises announced Monday that it sold over 500,000 Windows CE-based Dreamcast units in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore as ofthe end of December. Dreamcast is a new 128-bit video game console that will go on sale in the United States and Europe this Fall. It was launchedin the Far East in late November, making this sales figure all the more staggering.
