Dreamcast wouldn't have lasted the distance though. The 6th gen market left so little room for competition already, there was no room for Dreamcast to stick around and do better-than-Gamecube numbers.

The momentum it had, though, would have meant that it would have either been GameCube or Xbox forced into irrelevance.

I agree that the ecosystem really can't support more than three systems, but it's easy to forget that Dreamcast died out at 50% of what the Xbox and GameCube each achieved by the end of their time.

I'd contend that Dreamcast got off to such a good start because of a lack of competition, and that Halo/Nintendo's 1st party IPs would have stoppd Dreamcast pushing Xbox or GC off the market. 

 i wish Dreamcast had sold better, God knows it deserved it, I just can't see it topping GC.
