Sony - Is the PS3 a success? - View Post

I'm gonna use the Dreamcast just to play devil's advocate.

It had a ton of great games at the time. Maybe 90% of their best games were exclusive. I covered alll genres. It introduced me to online gaming, voice control, analog triggers, the VMU, open world games, etc. From a gamer's standpoint, I was in heaven.....but it killed Sega.

I didn't care about Sega's sales or profit margin at the time. I just cared about having fun. Now, I know Sony isn't sega and the PS3 isn't the Dreamcast (initially, another console was compared to the Dreamcast....) but you may see some similarities. Would you call the Dreamcast a success? It's a rhetorical question.

Looks like everyone is treating it like a rhetorical question too, lol.

While I'll admit it's not completely an apples to apples comparison, in light of the many responses on this thread I understand what you're doing here and wholely support it.
