In case you hadn’t caught on yet or are new to the GamePartisan party scene, game name recognition means very little to us: a good game is a good game, an average game is an average game, a bad game is a bad game. Period.

Not long into the life of the 128-bit uber-console, Sega’s ill-fated underdog, the Dreamcast, Sega of Japan head Shoichiro Iramijiri made reference in Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu concerning a new console. The 256-bit console, dubbed the Phoenix, was allegedly better suited to carry out struggling Sega Enterprises’ ambitions of competing with the then-mighty Xbox and PlayStation 2 consoles.

We all know the rest of the story, however: the Phoenix, so-called, never saw the light of day, and Mr. Iramijiri was soon shown the door at Sega and sent on his merry way to the Japanese automotive racing circuit.

However, the rumor mill is working at full steam, and appears to be indicating that Microsoft is interested in reviving the Phoenix name as it contemplates a portable gaming endeavor. Word has it that while Phoenix would be the name, the actual technology driving the system would, in essence, be that of a portable Sega Dreamcast.

No one within Xbox Live seemed willing or able to offer comment when contacted concerning the issue, and we’ve yet to elicit a response from Sega.

Sooner or later, though, the rumors will likely be put to rest one way or another: it’s no secret that Microsoft wants a piece of the portable gaming pie. Upon announcing the development of the Zune portable media player, many industry pundits emitted loud boos, expecting instead a portable gaming announcement.

We will continue to investigate this matter, and hopefully will be the first to shed any major light on Microsoft’s portable plans.
