The dreamcast died because the ps2 had a dvd player

What are you trying to show me?

reminder to all you fucking underage zoomers that the Dreamcast was the best selling console of all time when you only factor in the launch year
The Dreamcast did great, SEGA just fucked up so hard in the years before it that they had no cash to keep it afloat

Sega was fucked before the dreamcast even came out. Didnt help that sega of japan hated sega of america for being successful and soj tried to screw them over at every turn.

It had everything to do with the DVD player. They were expensive at the time and combining a DVD player with a video game console that's the successor to last gen's winner AND can play its predecessors games was an absolutely irresistable concept even for people who didn't play games. It was full on multimedia now and leveraged the entire film industry against Sega. Not to mention Sega shot far too early. If they had sat on the Dreamcast and tweaked it a little more and released it in 2001 or so, it probably could have held up, but since it was already aged by the time the 6th gen went into full swing nobody fucking wanted it. It had fewer features, less power, and fewer 3rd parties backing it. A packed in modem would have been huge in the early 2000s, especially since the Xbox was charging you for online so it could have easily taken it on that front.

DVD players used to be expensive as fuck
Might as well get a video game system that could do both

Dreamcast died because it was easy as fuck to pirate games, retard

>long list of fuck ups leading up to the dreamcast
>petty in-fighting
Company was already fucked and it turned out no software/hardware sales could save them. I enjoyed it when it was 'alive' but the axing of the system early '01 was not super surprising.
It always felt like an 'in-between' system to the point where I will sometimes accidentally lump it in with the 5th gen.

The ps2 was 300 at launch while there are cheaper DVD players in that catalog

>$800 for a portable DVD player
>They're like $40-50 for that size now

Christ

Fucking crazy that almost every single one of those movies are classics these days. Life really was better back then.

The Dreamcast died because the Saturn was a complete disaster with no games. The PS2 could have shipped with GDROMs or minidisks, it would still have been carried entirely by PS1's momentum like it was with DVDs.

the dreamcast died because the PS2 had games.

Never forget this moment (in regards to the Playstation and Saturn)

Do you really genuinely believe that a compan6 like SEGA ran out of money to produce games. When has that ever happened user. When has any video game publisher or developer ran out of money or been too low on money to produce games. That’s right, never.

False.

nigger are you for real?
Sega of America tanked their entire budget on the CD and 32X instead of marketing the Saturn (which flopped).
Dreamcast being a shitty stopgap system to hold people over until PS2's arrival was the final nail in the coffin.

Yeah but you can get the PS2 for 300 and satisfy the kiddies and the whole family's entertainment desires instead getting the DVD player for ~200 and a console for another 300
use your head

Yeah, you're right. It had 5 games period and only w of them were good.

or you could buy a sega system and entertain nobody.

>The Matrix came out twenty years ago
it's directors became trannies

And the Dreamcast was easily pirated. And there was nothing on the dreamcast.

No one wanted a DVD player without a remote.

The Dreamcast died because the Saturn was shit.
