Your main console just pulled a Dreamcast, now what?

If Nintendo went out of business, I'd buy a Steam Machine. Which ever one was the best value for the smallest price. At least I'd be able to use an Oculus Rift then. No Man's Sky on Oculus with Steam and free internet... On a console... Yeah. No competition. If Nintendo went third party, Valve would probably be where most Nintendo gamers would flock. I'm not spending a dime extra for online I'm already paying for. I don't care how many "free" games the subscription comes with.

The cheapest Steam Machine is $500, a PS4 is $400. Which is cheaper?

Plus if Steam Machine takes off, I doubt that free online will be around much longer.

I owned a Dreamcast (but I bought it after my Gamecube), and I noticed that most of Sega's support moved to the Gamecube. So in the case of Dreamcast flopping, if I were a super Sega fan, I'd have bought a Gamecube.

Actually Xbox was initially the Sega Dreamcast fan's console of choice.

sequel to it's best game in Jet Set Radio Future and a highly anticipated title (Gun Valkyrie) was shifted from Dreamcast to Xbox. Sega GT also migrated to Microsoft's platform.

If you were a Sonic Team fan, GC was the logical choice though.

Don't forget Panzer Dragoon Orta for XB1 and Skies of Arcadia Legends for Gamecube. Seems like the Dreamcast fanbase got split.

However knowing Nintendo, it's likely they would go fully on the PS4.
