People saying the dreamcast in itself was a mistake are wrong, the dreamcast is what the saturn should have been, it was a result of learning from all the mistakes that they had made during the genesis/saturn era. Sega finally released a cheap system that was easy to develop for and got a headstart over the competition. The problem with it was that retailers and also gamers had lost faith in Sega because of the saturn/32x etc.
the reason EA abandoned Sega was because of how they treated them in the saturn generation, not because of the dreamcast itself. Some retailers wouldn't carry the dreamcast because of what happened with the 32x/saturn until Sega finally proved that it would sell when it started doing pretty well.
