"Holy Hi-jacked thread" I was not trying to offend anyone,merely pointing out that both consoles were(in Japan) initially the same in sales,yet one is remembered as a failure,the other a success.
Yes, it probably would have been better if I had only included the first year, as the PS3 has surged since winning the HD format war.
Also please remember the Dreamcast had the launch of the PS2 to deal with,and only 17 months after it's NA launch, Sega announced they were ceasing production. Some of the best games due to come out for it went to the other consoles(System Shock 2, Half-Life, Rez, Shenmue II, Super Monkee Ball, etc)many more were cancelled.
So here we are, 17 months into the life of the PS3,and (hypothetically) Sony decides to drop the PS3,with many of the big exclusives (FF and GT5) going to the 360,and the rest to the Wii and PS2. How would you feel? How would the sales be? That's what happened to the Dreamcast.
I am all ears,fill me in!
