Dreamcast. Let It Go. It needs to die. Seriously.

As someone who actually owned5 Dreamcasts, (4 broke down on me) I can blame ALL OF YOU for its failure. With games like Grandia 2, Skies of Arcadia, PSO (when it wasn't hacked to bits) Jet set radio,Shenmue, it had an incredible lineup. But do you know what was better? The Sega Saturn. Truewiseblade

But unfortunately, most people aren't aware of it's existence nor it's library of games, so they marvel at the sight of the Dreamcast.

Didn't Dreamcast sell like 10 million, how did it end up dying?Dahaka-UK

The 10 million number is highly misleading. More than half of it were from mass clearance sales that even went as far to sell the system at less than half it's price, and also from refurbished units.

And all of that sold "after" the system was officially discontinued, meaning it didn't help the console at all.

Ahh the Dreamcast.

Mine is still hooked up, next to my Wii, which is not.

I am curently playing through Grandia 2, which is a damn good RPG, not sure I have never finished this game, I've played through skies of arcadia at least three times

The dreamcast was a casualty of the Sony marketing dept, kinda like the current gen, they overhyped the ps2 with quotes like "toy story quality graphics".

I will probably always have my dreamcast hooked up, that and my xbox 360, which so far has some of the best quantity of quality titles I have seen come out for a home console since, uh, oh yeah, the Dreamcast.

it will never die

I play mine more than another little white console.

OH SNAP

What are you talking about, buddy?

The Sega Dreamcast was a wonderful console that I enjoyed very much when I got one. I have a lot of good memories of my Dreamcast and the day my brother traded it for some lame scanner that ended up not working was a sad day indeed. I'm going to buy myself a new one soon though. :)

I miss Sega so much :[ I owned the Sega Genesis/CD/32x, Game Gear, Saturn and Dreamcast. The Saturn did good in Japan but didn't go well in NA because of Sega of America dropping the ball, Bernie Stolar is a scum bag IMO.

Dreamcast was killed by the Sony hype machine, even though the PS2 didn't have much of anything to play for a year after the launch, and no online. Lack of EA games support and the huge piracy problem put the nail in the coffin for the Dreamcast.

The Dreamcast will never die to me, it's still hooked up in my room. As the last console made by Sega, I'm going to keep it for nostalgia.

Oh, and out of all those Sega consoles I listed, all still work and play great. As well as my Nintendo consoles, NES, Game Boy, SNES, GB Pocket, GB Color, N64, GB Advanced, Game Cube, GBA SP, Wii and DS/DS lite.

Sony on the other hand....Three Playstations failed on me, one PSone (still works), Three PS2s :/ (Not the slim, the original. I have the HDD for FFXI.), one PSP and one Playstation 3 still kicking.

Microsoft....one Xbox (works fine) and had to ship in my Xbox 360 2x. The first time they sent me my original console back, but the second I got a refurbished and it's been working fine since. This was after the 3 year warrenty was announced so hopefully they fixed the problem.
