Gaming - Dreamcast demise? - View Post

Sega invested a large amount into the DreamCast and Sega Saturn video game consoles which both failed miserably. Sony is responsible for the demise through its successful Playstation console brand that dominated the market for 12 years and within 6 years it had eliminated Sega from the market.

I don't think they failed miserably. Dreamcast sold 10.6 million consoles. Saturn sold around 10 million. While those numbers don't seam high you have to remember that Dreamcast was alive in the US for year and a half. PS3 sold 11 million in similar time frame.  

Saturn was a failure as it couldn't penetrate the US and European markets but it had some amazing games and it was very profitable in Japan.
