Face it, ignoring any of the competition is idotic and cherry picking. Just because it was the dreamcast doesn't mean it should be excluded. You shouldnt just write competition off because of what or who it is. look where that got Sony this gen.

Xbox did last the gen, they started the next gen with the 360, Sega however is never getting back into the console hardware business. You can call it cherry picking, I call it looking at the facts, a console that is discontinued and whose company leaves the sector, was a failure, , people don't count the jaguar or the Turbographix or the CD-i, when discussing console wars, so why count the dreamcast?

what a pathetic example. When was Philips ever a major role in the video game market like sega? When has half a million in 7 years been comparable to 10 million in 3?

You really are trying too hard.

So what would you have Sony do? Let sega have a monopoly in the generation for another year? Allowing people to get anxious in playing video games and getting a dreamcast? Allowing word of mouth to spread to friends? Allowing sega more steam? Allowing 3rd parties to focus on the dreamcast since there is no other viable option? Allowing it to pick up more steam? GTA3 dreamcast exclusive? And you are saying they shouldnt count even though they could have picked up major momentum if sony didnt launch the ps2
