Did sony defeat themselves this generation?

WOW... I don't think I stayed on topic at all with this reply... Epic fail, move along, don't bother to read it...

 

Dreamcast was extremely easy to play burn games on, 10% of the burned games needed a load disc, the rest of the copied games just needed to be inserted into the Dreamcast to be played..

with that game sales started to go down... way down, and that's when they started to lose allot of 3rd parties.

If you remember Dreamcast had a hard 3rd party developer problem from the get go, with companies just making poor, ports from the PSOne and N64.

Some of 3rd party loss came from the Saturn (love this system).

also the DvD vs CD was a big factor, I mean DvD was a HUGE improvment from VHS.

People just had to have a DvD player.

Sony figured it worked once, it will work again with Blu-Ray, but with upscaling DvD players for a fraction of the price, and people not seeing a real difference to make the change it's taking off but not nearly has well as Sony hoped.

 

FTR: Dreamcast was amazing, I can't believe how many hours I spent online with that System. PSO FTW.

It's webbrowser was amazing, webTV.. lol
