Sonic Adventure got 9's at the time. It was considered not only good, but great. Dreamcast broke launch records at the time of it's release and sold very well at the start. 

I am aware that a lot of reviewers were so amazed by 3D graphics that they handed out high scores for games that didn't deserve them. The reviews of the countless re-releases paint a different picture of Sonic Adventure. I've also played the game myself and it has significant issues. It doesn't compare well against other games from 1998, like Banjo-Kazooie or Spyro the Dragon.

Dreamcast's launch records would be something like "highest revenue during launch week", but that doesn't mean much. The Dreamcast sold on Wii U levels afterwards.

The Dreamcast had the best launch ever based on units sold.
