| a.l.e.x59 said: If the Dreamcast never failed, would it have sold more units than the Gamecube, and Xbox? The Playstation 2 has sold 115.36 million units. The Xbox has sold 24 million units. The Gamecube has sold 21.49 million units. It is clear that the Dreamcast may have had no chance with the Playstation 2, but did it have a chance against the Gamecube and Xbox? The Dreamcast only lived for about 4-5 months outside of Japan, and has sold almost half as much as the Xbox, which lived for more than 4 years, and the Gamecube, which lived for more than 5 years, the Dreamcast has done better. Therefore, if you extend the life of the Dreamcast to 4 years, it would have outsold the Xbox, and 5 years, it would have outsold the Gamecube. However, that is only if the Dreamcast could have sold as much as it did before it failed. After the Playstation 2, the Dreamcast sales have slowed down. But, if Sega never stopped the production of the Dreamcast, would it have had a chance to take down the Gamecube, and Xbox? |
I assume our escheme date launch in market, imagine that WII is launched in nov2006 in Japan an after launches in North America and Europe in Sep of 2007. Dreamcast has no DVD so isn't more than a Gamecube or a WII or a PS1 whit better graphics.
