Sega charged $22 per month to play online for the Dreamcast. Where was the outcry back then?

Yeah, MS made bank from the original xbox. /s

it failed but because of expensive hardware which they dropped down to compete with the ps2, xbox hardware was more expensive as the console was made almost like a pre built from wallmart etc. instead being carefully designed and devoloped like the ps2 or gamecube 

Xbox was the technically superior machine. Games that took advantage of Xbox looked a generation ahead of PS2.

PS2 was a mess, they should have put used better GPU. God of War is one of few PS2 games that don't look like garbage.

Not really shadows of the collossus, silent hill 3 and metal gear solid 3 looked better than 80% of xbox games.  Didnt deny that xbox was stronger just that was a lot more expensive to produce and part of the reasons why it was affordable for people to choose is because MS gave you a huge discount.

In europe the xbox came out in march 2002 at a launch price of 480€ which was 70% more expensive than the US price, they dropped it to 250€ in the same year in autumn. So MS tried europeans to suck up the real price which was no where as competive as the ps2.
