The dreamcast is mostly overrated by people who never had the console to begin with. They're thinking "Oh, there are so many great games, this has to be teh best console evaaahhh!"
Which is true to some extent, but the console itself had many shortcomings. Like the controller. I mean, that thing was friggin' huge, was it not? Also it was expensive (at least in europe) and those damn VM units (you know, the memory cards with displays...) were expensive as fuck! I hated that. Vita Memory Card prices? Not even close. Not even close, really.
While the Dreamcast had some great games, the variety was still not anywhere close to the PSX, let alone PS2. Also, the first party titles didn't hold up to Nintendo's offerings, with the exception of Shenmue maybe. It was good, just not as good as the competition which was why the people bought other consoles instead.
But anyway, you don't talk bad about the dead, so the Dreamcast deserves all the hype it can get. There you have it.
