| Ryudo said: It was still sold in Japan and repiared til 2007 or so. Still had official games released for it in Japan for years. People also bought DC's new directly from SOJ website after it was discontinued. SEGA had a lot of left over stock in warehouses. |
DC was already selling in the hundreds by the time Famitsu stopped tracking, interest was fading, sure some people kept purchasing the system, but its unlikely Sega was selling more than maybe a few tens of thousands per year, there was no big software to drive hardware sales either and its not like the volume of people who bought things online was very large from 2001 to 2007, the numbers won't ammount to much, certainly not to 1m units and even if Sega had that many unsold stock no retailers would buy it and they wouldn't sell it online, if there was a large enough ammount of unsold Dreamcast they probably just sold the parts to recoup as much as possible as fast as possible.
I mean, Nintendo also supported the Famicom and the Famicom Disk System until like 2008 but its not like it sold after 1991.
