It's actually considered to be in its own special category known as "Forever Perfect".

The Dreamcast is a great console but I dont understand why people call it the greatest-it had some great games come out...but most have since been moved to PS2 or just improved on...granted it has my fave THPS ever. that version of THPS2 rocks

I get where you're coming from. To me, the SNES will probably always be the greatest console ever, but by God, the Dreamcast was just amazing. I can't really explain it; something about the combination of great graphics and all the wacky (and extremely unique) games that were released for the DC just made it into one of the best console experiences I ever had. From Maken X to Virtual On to MvC 2 to Shenmue, the DC was definitely special. That it was technically on par with the PS2 but never given the same chance is one of the reasons I hate Sony to this day (although they haven't really helped themselves out too much lately).

You blame Sony for that? Didn't Sega basically do them-self in?

Yeah it was last gen but came out too early at a bad time. Came out in the peak of PS1/N64 and got completely ignored except by hardcores. Had great visuals, online play, and tons of really good games. Did everything right and just got ignored. 360 is really the same in a lot of ways except I personally don't like the type of games or the system.

Sony is my favorite gaming brand, but if they do something real stupid then I will be like anyone else and shun them. Everyone I know here says Sega themselves were the reason it didn't do so well. Fanboys are the ones who blame Sony. Besides if Nintendo had done it, would you be mad at Nintendo?

Wasn't Nintendo harshly competitive with Sega? I think I was cheering for them to can Sega. Then here comes Sony and kill steals. N had been doing all the damage and sony took the point, not fair.

What? How do I sound like a five year old? I said Sony took what Nintendo had been trying to do. Sounds like someone here needs to go to bed. Leave the internet to the grown-ups and go back to your mom's arms.

You're getting mad cause a company came in and beat another company. And if you haven't forgotten Sony kicked Nintendo's a**. So who did a better job? Sony did something Nintendo nevercould, andended uptaking the crown away fromNintendo. And to think Nintendo is the only reason the Playstation was ever invented, ironic isn't it?

Actually I think you started it, all I asked is didn't Sega do it to themselves. Like I said only fanboys will blame Sony for what happened, they were just doing their job. Blame the consumer who bought Sony products over Sega products.

Ahhhhhhh System Wars...A place where facetious comments like "Then here comes Sony and kill steals" are taken seriously enough that the concept of "kill stealing" is then pointed out not to exist in the real world. Wow. Maybe instead of trying to claim that the people who blaim Sony for the DC's demiseare blind fanboys, you guys should relax a little, a not be so quick to turn around and kiss Sony's posterior. Do you get paid by Sony? If not, why are you so offended by these comments? It's fairly widely acknowledged that the PS2's entry into the market was a big factor in the DC's demise, so yes, Sony can be said to be partially responsible for said event. Is it business? Of course. Does that mean that anyone who holds a grudge against Sony sounds like they're 5? Only to someone who gets all weepy about anti-Sony comments. Are you guys at all into sports? Do you have a favorite team? Lots of people blindly hate another team specifically because of their relationship to the person's favorite team (maybe Team A is in the same conference as Team B, Team B always beats Team A, etc.). No one accuses Cubs fans of being babies just because they hate the Cardinals, and yet this type of blind hatred is just as nonsensical. You guys need to relax; no one's talking about sending a nuclear missile to Sony HQ.

Yeah, Sega lost a lot of money with the Saturn and then they lost money with the Dreamcastuntil they didn't have enough money to continue making consoles. Now all they do is make multi-plat games.

Dreamcast = Saturn, they offered the same gaming, except the Saturn had more games,exclusives, and 2 more buttons and the Dreamcast online while it was alive. People just never played the Saturn.
