SEGA should still be making consoles instead of them TBH. They filled in where SEGA left and feel they never lived up to the greatness of SEGA. I think they tried to buy SEGA as well. Actually tbh. SEGA tried to court Sony into making the hardware for Saturn. It didn't work out but since MS made the OS for Dreamcast being based on Windows CE. Should have just let MS make the hardware in a licensing deal with the SEGA branding on the box with SEGA's first-party games. That would have been the best outcome. SEGANet might have taken off like XBL. EA might have been on board. Zone of the Enders would be on it instead of PS2 (ZOE was originally in development for DC) ..man but looking at the world and the gaming industry the shit shape it's in. We live in the darkest timeline. |
It was in the machine, and the logo was on the console, but it wasn't the OS. Only around 11-12% of all Dreamcast games used it, and it was inferior to Sega's own proprietary OS. If you look at the games that used it, it's a small, unimpressive list, aside from the 4 Hello Kitty games. |
That's because a complain by third parties was that the Saturn was hard to develop for. Sega took measures to make the Dreamcast easier to program and one of those was getting Microsoft to port windows ce to it for any developer that found that easier. It was just another option to make it easier on developers it wasn't required.
