The Dreamcast was a widely respected console that was killed primarily because of Sega's shaky financial position and the brand destruction from releasing several "failed" systems (Sega CD, Sega 32x, Sega Saturn and the GameGear).

Predicting the success or failure of the Wii U is kind-of foolish at this point in time because of how much we simply do not know, but I think that it is pretty telling that the same analysts who predicted the Nintendo DS, Wii and 3DS would be Dreamcast level failures are now saying the same about the Wii U.
