Why did this need another thread? Why couldn't you just use your other one? Or did that get locked?

It was easy to pirate the games thanks to the "windows CS" OS ms put in the DC.

and that was the only reason the dreamcast failed? Once the ps2 released the dreamcast pretty much stopped selling completely

It was easy to pirate the games thanks to the "windows CS" OS ms put in the DC.

so it's MS's fault that Sega wanted to useMS's OS in their console to make game development even easier. I'd imagine this made PC/Dreamcast games more common (Unreal Tournament was on the Dreamcast)

despite the lack of anti-piracy measures Sega never attempted to make. you try to blame MS.

one could blame Sony as much as you try to blame MS. really, your argument is ridiculous in the end because MS's support looks to have made a larger positive impact after observing the Sega Saturn and then observing the Sega Dreamcast.

looks like piracy wasn't even that big of a deal, the PS2 ended what life the Dreamcast had going for it. the poor management decisions caught up with Sega from their Saturn days, that is all.

but the pot is calling the kettle back. the irony of your words is that you're mad that people blame Sony for something that isn't their doing, you are doing the same thing and then whining about it on a thread that didn't need to exist.

Yes, Sony was the competition. How does that make them not the DC-killer?

The only one who is to blame for the death of the DC is SEGA. Anything else is wrong.

Haha. Yeah, that was my favorite season. I recently started re watching but forced myself to stop before all the drama. It was too much. KEY makes some great anime. Angel Beats was good too. not to mention kanon and Air.

Well Sony did use a few sneaky tactics. Paying stores to replace DC posters with Sony ones, having their consoles placed in much better position in stores, etc. But of course they shouldn't have let up, they were in it to win.

The biggest company to blame is Sega itself However, in terms of third party companies Sony is the one that contributed the most to Sega's downfall

Sony didnt kill sega the consumer did. Sony offered a better product ppl bought it.
