“The Dreamcast of this Generation”

I think that phrase was used by only the most rabid fanboys.

The Dreamcast was a low-cost games console launching at 199 dollars and within 8 years sold less than half the PS3 sold by 2008, so in 1 year and 8 months on the market in Europe.

 

LOL, dreamcast supported for 8 years...good one. No one here is arguing that PS3 is the dreamcast of the generation. I think most are arguing that PS3 is not as good... DC may have been last in sales, but games and innovations wise it was spanking anything that came after it for atleast another 3 years.

Things listed below were not offered by any other company till 2003+.

Online play

Voice chat while online play (Alien Front Online)

VGA output

Motion controls (Samba de amigo)

And while preference of games is different for everyone, people that like to push start and have fun within 2 minutes of pushing start should preffer the dreamcast library to PS3s even with the dreamcast being supported for only 2 years. People that like to talk about shaders and lighting fx and polygon counts...or watch bluray/DVDs...well they would prefer the PS2/PS3 (and to a lesser extent the 360) to a DC any day.
