Dreamcast vs. Playstation

Which console is better?

I beleive the Dreamcast is better because of the online play and the arcade fighters.

Playstation by a mile for me. I love my DC, but it didn't last long enough or have the support to come clost to the PS1's library.

Dreamcast. So many memories...

PS2 had way, way more online games than Dreamcast and most all of those PS2 online games had voice chat. The DC only had Voice for one DC title, Alien Front online. I know my DC inside and out, I was apart of Seganet.

The arcade fighters, I can understand, except the PS2 had more of those too (many were DC ports, plus more).

Still, I love my DC.

I can understand if you think the DC is better than the PS2, but the actual reason's you posted seems like you didn't know much about the PS2 and unfairly compared that to the Dreamcast.

Playstation by miles.

The Playstation obliterates any console that has ever existed in the market by a landslide, the only console that comes close to the first PS is the SNES. AgentA-Mi6

do u mean the PS2 or playstation but I guess u mean PS2.

PS2 OWNED the dreamcast cuz the PS2 killed off the DC. I still liked the DC tho but PS2 was much better

I think the hardware of the PS2 was a bit more powerful, but the Dreamcast only had a few developers who were actually getting the most out of Sega's machine. I remember how bad certain games looked, then how good games made by Capcom looked. Resident Evil Code Veronica, Powerstone 1 & 2, and Marvel vs Capcom 1 & 2 all looked outstanding! I also liked the way Alone in the Dark was presented on the Dreamcast as well. So to me it seemed that a lot of developers jumped ship in favor of Sony's monster, therefore leaving Sega to its 1st party developers, while brilliant, they weren't enough to keep them going. I went with Dreamcast and jumped to the Xbox, and got my PS2 a little late. So while I preferred my Dreamcast back in the day, its a no-brainer to say that the PS2 dominated it, especially with the library of titles that came out, and are still out.RIP Dreamcast.

Hmm lets see how long did the Dreamcast last? Oh thats right... looks like Playstation is the better of the two.

I still love the Dreamcast!

Pound for pound (or game for game) the best console I ever owned. It was the anti-shovelware-- everything on the shelf was a potential buy.

I had both, but PS1 was MUCH better. Frankly, the Dreamcast lacked games and that's what it's all about.

VC is the best JRPG this generation, for consoles, but thats where the list ends for consoles this generation. i would buy a ps3 tomorrow if it had the next breath of fire game slated for it. sadly the tales games i have found worse then last generation and FF games just are not what they were. i could go on and on about other long dead franchise that i would like to see come back, but to the point again, i do not feel the ps3 is filling what niche is open to it in my house. surrealnumber5

The Dreamcast was promising, but failed to build up a library comparable to the Playstation before it died.

Playstation, but gosh, the Dreamcast was so awesome. :)
