I had a dreamcast, and was a little disappointed that sega killed it, but they gave a fair amount of warning and games were still coming out for over a year. In fact, some new games even came out for it last year! I guess they were loosing too much per unit that they couldn't afford it being the number one console. (Not number one, means not as many games...)
I actually purchased two more used off of ebay over the years because my original broke (joystick ports stopped working). After the third broke (luckily I saved my broken ones), I repaired all three (fairly easy fix, and none rebroke).
