If the console is good it will work. The 360 was a great console so the head start really helped it.

Wii U and Dreamcast not so much so they flopped.

Just shows you though, PS1, PS2, PS3 and now PS4 all sold great no matter when they released. The fact the PS3 will sell 95M + is something else considering everything went against it. Just shows you what the PS4 will do now that it's gotten everything right.

Don't really care about this thread but you deserve a spanking for saying Dreamcast and WiiU are not "good consoles" and that's why they failed. 

If gaming is all you're concerned with, it doesn't get much better than Dreamcast. WiiU also smokes the pants off the next gen competitors when it comes to gaming. 

does it now? and what if i'm not into a console with the following:

#1 most of the top games i might have liked when i was 8. 

#2 negative 3rd party support 

#3 hardly any releases. 

#4 technically week games

Yeah I don't consider that good and the majority of consumers agree. 

You have to gauge consoles at the time they come out, not today looking back at a library that is 15 years old. If you were 8 when Dreamcast was out, and it wasn't your bag of tea, then you have absolutely no viable perspective on the matter. None of your points are true if you were a gamer from 1999 to 2002. Dreamcast was a glorious failure. A console that kicked ass bt ran out of steam (money)...

Post its death, almost 30 Dreamcast games have been released by independent developers, with many more in the making... Games like Strumwind and Gunlord are quite fun. 

As far as WiiU is concerned, it's got its drawbacks like lack of 3rd party support but the console has some amazing exclusives that the competitors are yet to release on their next gen consoles. Hardly a bad console just may not be what you want/need out of gaming.

If you have to choose, PC +  WiiU combo gives you the best of what gaming has to offer in 2014 IMO...
