I've never seen such a level of disdain towards developers cancelling 3rd party projects on failing consoles.
The Dreamcast had far more and far higher profile cancellations without any of this uproar and in those cases, it was software on more powerful hardware being axed (Colin McRae 2.0) etc. So to have weaker hardware requiring additional work and resources on top of the low userbase, it doesn't really make any sense TO continue with the game.
Games canned on Dreamcast after lots of hype from developers:
Colin McRae 2.0 (enhanced improved version)
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2 (Lead platform)
Black and White
CastleVania: Resurrection (ironic title!)
Half Life (this was practically 100% finished!)
Anyone would think this was the first time a high profile title for a format was cancelled.
