ITT people don't remember what really killed the Dreamcast.

The Dreamcast was and is a great machine. It fell victim to poor timing and piracy. Sony filled every publication they could with utter horsesh*t in regards to how much more powerful the PS2 was. They outright lied about its capabilities by about a hundredfold. If the dreamcast had come out at around the same time, Sony would have looked fucking stupid because their boasting would have turned on them when pissed off consumers could turn to the Dreamcast.

Then there was the fact that everyone with a CD burner had access to literally every single Dreamcast game ever made. The piracy truly killed it.

At the time of its release the Dreamcast was revolutionary and sold like crazy, so of course it did better than the much maligned Wii U in the same time frame.

Well actually i own Dreamcast, you are right with one of the  best console on market when it was launced, but OP is comparing Wii U sales and Dreamcast so thats not the answer  and didn't bring something new in the discussion. and Wii u in term of sales can't compared like that. If you want to discuss purely on games that will be a subject matter.
