| Darwinianevolution said: Sega was mortally wounded before the Dreamcast. All that money spent on the Sega CD, the 32X, the Neptune, the lackluster developement of the Saturn, making not one, but two Shenmue games (their budget was tremendous), SegaNET, and a lot of other things meant that the Dreamcast couldn't have fought the competition even if its sales were decent. The PS2 just nailed the final nail in the coffin. |
This and TheSting's post are the correct answer here. If you make your discs insanely easy to pirate (ironically with a disc type made in-house to fight piracy), and you're already bleeding out from a decade of awful decisions and corporate infighting, you're done before you even launch. The console and Sega were screwed the moment they launched because of this on top of the PS2 being on the way.
You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt! I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading. After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!
