From a design perspective.
It's a fucking stupid console.
And I'm talking controller wise and everything.
The fucking cable was on the bottom of the controller, as if the console is going to be behind you or something :S.

Not to mention it had a dumbass memory card that you stuck on the top of the controller.

Like really, dumb ideas were utilized just for the sake of being 'original' or 'different'.

The VMU had to be in the controller so it's added benefit could be utilized, the screen. Unfortunately it wasn't used as much as Sega wanted it to be, but there were games out there that benefitted greatly from having it. The cord was on the bottom because the VMU needed to be in the controller. Just remember that Sega being "original" and "different" is what lead to an internet browser and online play in the Dreamcast, and software like Jet Set Radio, Seaman, Segaga and Typing of the Dead.

 

Sega was just in rare form during the Dreamcast days. I doubt whether any developer has ever released such a quantity of high quality software over a two year period. It was as though everything they released was inspired, original and exceptional. Looking back it is a shame what Sega has become because for a period they were practically unrivalled.
