Clearly this is usually one and the same but not this gen or at least, not at this point in this gen. |
Dreamcast is the winner. I'm not joking, in my heart it is clear the Dreamcast was the best console of it's generation and even compared with this generation. It had great games, a great hardware - and was doomed. 
Judged with nearly every possible fact-based metric the Dreamcast was a totally losing. If we resort to such vague definitions, every console wins. Even the Virtual Boy had a unique experience for it's players. My heart bleeds to admit it, but on an objectve standpoint the Dreamcast lost in nearly every perspective. (Hmm, most Shenmue-games.) And objective the Wii has won in many categories (by far not as good as the PS2) while the competitors are behind.
