I'm not sure saying they "Dreamcast themselves" would be an accurate critique. The Dreamcast was succeeding, but Sega didn't have the money to keep it going. The problem with selling a high power console at a loss, your business model only works longterm if you can survive the initial losses.... which Sega couldn't. If Sega had the money to keep the DC around, it would have been a huge success... and Nintendo has that money. Also, instead of releasing high end equipment like the DC, they're releasing(relative to release date) low end equipment that will be profitable day 1, just like the Wii. In every day opposite of the DC.
