I was more referring to just the general vibe. Arcade ports were a big part of Dreamcast while Xbox was characterized by PC ports like Doom 3 and Morrowind. There's a big difference in feeling between PC and arcade gaming.

Dreamcast itself was starting to get PC ports with the most notable being Quake 3 which even had cross platform support with PC and a vastly improved version of Half Life which was completed but the release canned when Sega halted DC production.

Arcade ports though were a bigger part of its identity for me though, while for Xbox it was PC ports. So the two never felt alike at all for me in terms of vibe. Gamecube actually felt closer to the Dreamcast for me, and Xbox closer to PS2, though of course still distinctly different.
