Do you mean an Xbox? I don't see how the death of the Dreamcast could make someone want to buy a 360 since there is a four and a half year gap between the death of DC and the birth of the 360. I will say though the death of the Dreamcast did turn me away from games for a number of years. I barely played a handful of games between 2001 and 2005 when I started gaming for real again. It was Resident Evil 4 that brought me back.

 

 I mean the Xbox or 360.  Some might have played their Dreamcast til 05.. who knows.

It's possible a lot of DC users went towards the Xbox. It continued the tradition of online gaming DC users wee accustomed to. Sega made a lot of good sequels ready for the Xbox's launch and first year like Jet Set Radio Future, Sega GT 2002 and Panzer Dragoon Orta. A lot of people don't know this, but Sega almost went into the fold with Microsoft and would have been the headlining first party of the Xbox. Sega asked for one thing on the console that Microsoft refused. They wanted there to be Dreamcast backwards compatibility on the Xbox. Can you imagine how differently things may have been if it had gone through and Sega was a part of MS instead of folding and getting bought by Sammy?
