Did you even owned a Dreamcast? I think if you would check internet and have had experience for yourself with the different consoles you would agree the Dreamcast was the best consoler for that time. (came out here in Europe October 1999 and PS2 came out in November 2000). when PS2 and Xbox came out the capabilities for those consoles was better as the hardware was better but in terms of games and gameplay etc I was much more satisfied by the Dreamcast as the hypes of the PS2 and Xbox where so big those two were a big dissapointment for me! It took very long to finally have some good games on the PS2 and Xbox.
