The dreamcast was only a failure because at this point Sega had run out of funds to fight Sony and Nintendo... But it did great while it was there! |
Just after being discontinued, the machine had sold 9.13 million units, three years after its release in Japan and two in the United States. I honestly don't know which console sold faster, because the Wii U launched practically worldwide in the same time frame, but the difference isn't that big.
EDIT: I'm incorrect. The Dreamcast was available in the market for two and a half years in Japan and one and a half in the United States. Six months of difference is quite a lot.
My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
