It's pretty much the definition of a cult console. It had some fantastic games, and certainly a taste for every genre in there, but the software library just could not compete with the two juggernauts at the time (PS1 & PS2). I feel it absolutely deserves the cult following it has gotten, but definitely isn't "best console ever" or anything like that. I suspect it's heading the direction the WiiU is now, too. Lots of high-quality games which will be viewed as classics in the future, but without the software width of its competitors to make it a true classic. Anyway, thanks for the data sharing here. Any sales data is fun to read. |
Dreamcast had better games than the PS2 until probably late 2003 and even that is arguable. The dreamcast did fine against the PS1, it was the PS2 that killed it and that was despite the great games on DC not because of them. DVD had a lot to do with it too.
currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X
