Hey everyone, today we gonna talk about one of my all time favorite console the Dreamcast...(I still have it).
To this day I still get annoyed whenever I think about how fast the console died even though it had super duper strong start and supports.
Sega obviously learned their lesson from their past experience with Genesis and Saturn. But why Dreamcast considered as a failure?The failure was massive to the point it forces the company to leave the console productions forever...
I mean it had super awesome games (I know in order for the console to be successful it should have more than just great games). Like Resident Evil Code Veronica, Soul Calibur, Shenmu, Crazy Taxi, and a lot of amazing games. And it was the very first Console that has online feature and use online games (I really had a blast with Phantasy Star Online).
Was the main reason it failed because players simply don't trust Sega anymore? specially after the failing attempt to compete with Super Nintendo when adding add on like Sega CD (which was super expensive back in the day and the upgrade was not that massive yeah it made Genesis use CDs instead of cartridge for its games but still). Or was it something else?
I mean it fixed so many of Saturn problems and yet its longevity was even less (only 2 years that is all). It was released in 1998 and died at 2000 with the release of PS2.
