But I guess that wasnt to be. The ps3 is a powerful console but doesnt bring much onto the table that hasnt already been seen in terms of innovation. Plus the DC had a killer price- $199 To a lot of people who grew up around the DC launch time, the DC was seen as a powerful, innovative console ahead of its time- and it wasnt only about the graphics. DC will always be a classic cult console. @steroid : http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PS3®1=Japan&cons2=PS2®2=Japan&cons3=DC®3=Japan&weeks=156 Yup the ps3 is about 500 k units ahead of the DC in japan with aligned launches.. oh and btw the DC was considered a huge FLOP in japan. It gets worse when you compare it to PS2 sales. |
Nintendo did that years prior to the Dreamcast.
I'd compare the PS3 to the N64 if anything. I believe it'll come in second.
But, man, I don't even remember the Dreamcast even exisiting. I went straight from N64 to GCN and never looked back.
